CGC owes money to farmers

Pretty hard to call someone else a pig when your snout is in the same trough!

The wheat growers broke this story. More good work from that group. Very unlikely the money will actually be returned to farmers. But should force a fee reduction on outbound inspections.
I really like the direction of the WCWG these days. They are bringing to light issues that affect all producers. My understanding is they are funded mainly by annual membership fees. If your not a member you should seriously consider it. There are check off funded groups with thousands of times more money to work with that are doing nothing for producers.

After the carbon tax issue and now the excessive CGC fees, the wheat growers are proving to be an excellent group.

Why are our commodity check off groups not speaking out against the carbon tax?

Good thing under Yerry's watch the buildup wasn't detected.....funny thing how it comes to light now...with a good old self pat on the back by the wheat growers....

They are all sunning their rear ends just like Pallister. Think I might have offended them, oh no!

Like!

Bucket, did you not receive a new roll of tinfoil at Xmas? lol

Meanwhile farmers are taking a beating on wheat grading (fus, vomi) and now down to very minimal if any net returns .
This drain of farmers money is becoming sickening.

Must make the guys that were shorted by Naber Specialty Grains feel sick, knowing that CGC didn't do due diligence and make sure they were covered then find out CGC it self is sitting on a cool $100mil.

Interesting. ...I don't technically own the grain after I open my semi slides at the elevator but the money collected at the west coast by the CGC is my responsibility. ....but when a guy asks for a basis based on Vancouver prices because we also pay the freight there ....I am out to lunch and wrapped in foil....

Isn't it Hermanson in charge of that for the last few years? Wonder why they were stashing money away?

Pretty easy to figure out why the carbon tax makes sense to some people.

[wmoebis]

If Sask Power or Revenue Canada inadvertently over charges us that sum it put on account and taken off next billing until it is used up. In the mean time corrections to billing are made so it doesn't happen again. The same thing could be done with the Rail overage and CGC inspection over charges.

Better hire a 3rd party to do AG financing obviously neither CPC or Lib's can figure it out.

So true Bucket, that $100 million wasn't just created in 16 months, all was quiet from Wheat Grower when The Cracker was in charge. WCWG were a one trick pony, best before date expired on Aug /2012!
