Thx for the first hand experience Dave .
A lot of people I don't think realize that .
Most positions like that are thank less because very few understand the complete picture.

Thanks for holding a board seat Dave, Just a few questions.
How come we cant have one voice Canada pulse, MPG,SPG,APG?
Do you think Sask. pulse growers are paying more than Mb or Ab?
Have you been paid while holding a position? Do you think it is adequate?
Why Is there 26,000,000 surplus sitting in SPG? Is this not a non profit?

It's too bad that trump has a protectionist policy....in reality we should be looking for common north American groups and transportation routes that benefit the continent including Mexico as a whole....

Tell me why opec and canpotex can demand what they do?

Dont like it but tbeir policies working together work somehow....

Pulses and these boards can't be too much different...

Imagine a pulse producing export countries ...PPEC for short....


Include the Ukraine on pulses so we don't run each other to the bottom price wise. ....

Just think if a few nations did get together and formed a lentil cartel - like Opec. Think it would work?

So basically our canary check off is going to what? Somebody in a trench coat watching some Mexican peasants steal a blender (according to trump) and grind up some canary seed? Is that the study? Lol
Are they studying the price screw job that gets lost on the way to Mexico too?

This was being done years ago. It is by all accounts a very healthy alternative.

Maybe if you'd all worked to reform the CWB to make it better instead of destroying it you could have had this? It was the closest shot you ever had to being an OPEC.

Canary Assn (which i am still involved with) mainly spends on breeding and Agronomy and a small amount of money is used for food work and a really small amount on admin. Most of these projects have matching provincial or federal dollars. Without organizations like this much of the breeding and agronomy work would have not be funded by either govt.

It would be a good time for your to start exporting canaryseed to Mexico. Today they are trying to buy at 18-19 cents grower plus 2 cents to clean it, plus transport costs. It's extremely lucrative today. Not much to study. Stop by my office sometime and i will show you how you can make easy money trading canary into Mexico.

I received a letter in mail to vote now.
Apparently Saskatchewan elections for pulse growers and wheat growers is open now....will have to check it out.

(Not sure if other commodity groups are having an election currently.)
