Wide basis cost farmers billions?

You seem to forget the big spread between port prices and your cwb chq. Huge difference. If you can market canola and bly. you can market wht. Not sure why some blindly followed the--- and believed all their propaganda.

Good point, could you give us a comparison between then and now? I've been searching and can't find that info to share.

No i'm not going to take the time to try to find a comparison. What i find funny is the --- always bragged about how little per bus. it cost the farmer for them to market our grain. Where did all the money go then? One positive that did come out of all those decades of poor prices, was the canola industry was born in western canada. ( it paid the bills )
