Mr.Weber Your rhetoric is devoid of information. Maybe you should be a cartoonist

With respect to the export enhancement program here is a study of the impacts on Wheat. This study included Harvey Brooks and two other economists.
https://www.card.iastate.edu/products/publications/pdf/89wp46.pdf

From the study "The EEP played a large role in the US export program being applied to 70% of US wheat sales in 1987-1988. By June of 1989 a total of 61.0 MMT of US wheat sold under the EEP".
" of Canadian wheat exports to China an average Subsidy of US$39.85/mt. The USSR received a average US subsidy of US $35.40 mt"

From Wikipedia
"The Export Enhancement Program (EEP) is a program that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) initiated in May 1985 under the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act to help U.S. exporters meet competitors’ subsidized prices in targeted markets. The program currently is authorized through 2007 under the 2002 farm bill (P.L. 107-171). Under EEP, exporters are awarded cash payments that enable an exporter to sell certain commodities to specified countries at competitive prices.

Larry the export enhancement program did exist. EEP greatly reduced the return from CWB sales in that period. It was common knowledge at the time that western Canadian farmers were losing over one billion dollars annually because of EEP.

Why can't those that betrayed the farmers for personal gain such a L Weber take responsibility for their actions? Larry you were a CWB hater. Since the Canadian Wheat board was ended farmers have lost over 9 billion dollars. This is work by economist Richard Gray U of S.
Mr. Weber tell us how the elimination of the Canadian Wheat Board has benefited the farmers. Citation...

They were the biggest impediment to farmers in western Canada in my lifetime. The difference is I had the balls to put my name to what I believed in - do you?

9 Billion,this is great. We were down 10 billion only this past February. Gained a billion in 2 months

I can tell you are embarrassed by your hostile response. No need to be angry. Where are your alternate facts on EEP??????

You never answered one thig:

where is the evidence of two bushels sold and one free bushel
where is the evidence of EEP subsidy levels in 2004
where is the evidence of EEP corn ?

- apples and oranges all over again.


You fit the peoplekind mold perfectly... no balls...

We have had some crazy low prices in the past but does anyone remember June of 84 when canola hit 16.00 one morning? Just think what costs were then.
My problem is I keep waiting for that to happen again.

Please read the article I sent PDF. It will give you some understanding how EEP worked. The $40.00 MT US wheat subsidy is equivalent to two bushels sold and one free. The quotes I gave were common knowledge at the time.

You need to be less preoccupied with your balls and read and understand information. If you cannot read and if you cannot understand then I cannot help you.
I repeat how did the loss of the CWB help farmers? Do you know the price today of 1RS 11% protein wheat at the elevator?

Myself and many others have told you many times how the board hindered and, what our improvements are since its removal.
You have never acknowleged anything before and never will.
Your only audience are those who see the world the way you do. Select the data your way, and who physically cannot understand anything else.

This thread could have gone another way but I knew where it was gonna go.
If so many agree with you IF, start your own site or maybe admin will give you your own page.
