Can you name..... ??????

Anything farm groups have done to improve the finances of the primary producers they say they represent????

A policy....a variety....a contract ...a grade ...that isn't more expensive to grow ....

While everyone else gets gets rubber stamped increases to improve their bottom line...


Just one policy that has helped a primary producer or cattleman improve their bottom line....

And just one that hasn't said farmers have to tighten their belts while supporting the economy with their exports and no one else is tightening their belts....

The WCWGA (who were the puppet masters of Ritz Cracker) got rid of the CWB which opened the gates to all those American grain companies coming right to your farmyard to buy your Wheat.

That surely counts for something.

What competition moved into Canada after that?

Oh and where is that pasta plant.....


Hahaha....

Bucket, do you ever read the AGM reports?

How about the canola health claim? Worth a billion or two per year.

OK ...I will bite...how has that crush margin come back to the farm at 9.50 canola and a 35 bpa crop to cover expenses...

This ground has already been plowed. If your paradigm blinds you to how much better things are without that rotten CWB, let me just remind you that under their thumb our initial payment right now would have been about $.97! How would that been for your farm crisis?

As for Bucket's pasta plant, all the CWB lovers fought change for so long the window for building such a plant closed. So thank Forage and Chuck and friends.

As for farm groups, if you belong and don't like the direction go to the annual meeting and raise shit. Whining about things in a little dark corner of the internet will make zero difference.

Yes . I can't argue your advice....I am going to try to get to AGMs but I am thinking they know what I will be bitching about and have a crowd to disperse my complaints...I have been advised as such....so its an uphill battle...

When the chair of an organization calls you because you called a new director....and rides your ass about it ...you know its going to be an irritant you are forced to live with....

ADM flower mill at Calgary has expanded twice since the end of the wheat board.

Braveheart broaden your knowledge and Google DLF Seeds and Science. See the power farmer owned cooperatives really can have. I have the means to do it on my own whether or not there is a CWB, so don't puff out your chest to far as you like to do!

I know the WCWGA is near and dear to your heart so don't get too edgy when the truth is told!

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
However, now that the evil board dynasty is gone......
Tough question to answer.
To be fair however, I've kinda checked out mentally.
