I think there more than a few that are now realising that getting rid of the monopoly hasn't solved any of their problems. Yes you can haul all your wheat off the combine 5.50 for #1-13.5. Oh wait you have high fuz so your wheat is a 3 or feed and the spread is 80 to a buck cents so now your 5.50 is 4.70-4.50. Hope you at least get a kiss after they are done ****ing you this harvest. #bloodbath16

The grain cos and railroaders almost have full control now. All they need to do is get rid of producer cars and the death star is complete. Churchill is the phase 1.

Yep, great minds think alike parsley.

Well if wheat board was around still you'd be getting $2.50 bushel! **** that shit .

[blackpowder]

Took 80 years to get rid of it. It'll take @least 40 for people to forget about it. I see proof everyday the emperor had no clothes.

I would not want to go back to those low price dark ages.

Too bad you guys arent as good at speaking out against some of the other shit thats eroding our profitability since the end of the CWB. Upov 91, de registering patent expired varieties, and now the attack on one of the few ways farmers can bypass the grain cos. Makes the CWb look like a nothing issue.

Mixed feelings about the old CWB. I still say there was some merit to some aspects of it. But "IF" I can do better than the "average" I would rather sell it myself.

The new environment is FAR from perfect. The first two years were ****ing horrible. This last year I honestly believe our prices were relative to the U.S. minni prices. I never felt so ****ed over as those first two years. Different environment now.... some terminal prices are dismal compared to others and at different times and places. Learn to read the signals or take up gambling at the Futures and Options Casino. Options are insurance....anyone ever get rich on insurance? Or if everyone had the financial strength to wait for better prices....we'd all be better off.....low hanging fruit first! Then there are the "marketing schemes and programs being offered....all designed to transfer the cost of risk to you!

Negative waves, eh 101!

Hey at least farmers aren't getting jailed for selling their OWN wht. to whoever they want! Wow what a novel idea, selling your own wht. where you want to! How soon some forget the chronically low wht. prices we used to have, i make good money on wht., not sure why some others don't. If you can market canola you can market wheat!

Past year has been good. Winter 2014 was the worst.

you basically have no choice but to spend 10-12 on canola seed, if you seeded bin run and took a stand you would be jailed.

Can you imagine a farmer being jailed for sowing his own crop!!!!!!!!!!!!
