In actual grain markets…

[Old Cowzilla]

Also freedom to haul some $20 canola today without the worry of coming under heavy tank fire on the way.

Grappling with "is this a sustained move" "slight change in trend sentiment" or "short-lived reaction meaning sell signal".

The real joys of free market having choice to make decision one way or the other.

The AWB had a privacy clause which expired 12 months ago lost of details were coming out of shady deals brown paper bag stuff etc etc.

But nobody was super super shocked sort of what we knew way back then and the mythical premiums in single desk selling came form domestic market profits shuffled across to export sales.


Pea and thimble stuff.

Done and dusted never to return.

CWB maybe more honourable that our AWB why it lasted a tad longer.

The CWB had producer oversight, so there was some insight into actual sales. Now there is zero transparency in the so called free market controlled by a few benevolent grain companies.

The one simple thing that should have been implemented is an export sales report before August 1 2012.

Farm groups can't wrap their head around it. One candidate for a farm group a few years ago didn't even know one existed in the states.

USDA is working on a new format and Canada can't even figure out why farmers and industry need it.

It was a crooked outfit with 5 or 6 generations of families milking it for all it was worth
Books could not be audited
On a public company, amazing corruption and they got away with it

Over 60% of CWB sales were made by the grain companies… in fact the CWB incentives were profitable to them…

There is transparency now… called making a few phone calls… as farmers have never had more choices of where and how, at the time it suits them… to choose who and what markets to supply!

You know better Aggie..

Cheers

Comedian T4 you know better. Squabbling over crumbs the grain companies offer you. Are you not selling internationally?

Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt… it is alive and well in western Canada… but..still…???

You can sell to anyone on the planet now Aggie… if there is an absorbent profit …

We have had more opportunities to sell and market our grain… end consumers, ingredient suppliers, grain merchants…relationships and integrity… key ingredients to learning when find opportunities that are fair for everyone!

When opportunities knock… the wisdom to understand meeting the needs of our customers… brings prosperity to all who choose integrity over greed!

Just ask Jim Chatenay how well ‘producer oversight’ worked for the Pools… and NFU… what a twisted chaos the CWB orchestrated…

Still blindly looking for the CWB utopia… Aggie… wise personal responsibility always trumps government regulation…prosperity is the casualty of social welfare schemes … that confiscate the private property of those with prudent asset management… to give to those with their had out for a freebie…

And growers have choice wether to deal with benevolent grain companies if they wish to.

Last check this morning 39 registered buyers at my local elevator so for for upcoming harvest. All under GTA umbrella.

7 domestic end users biggest consumes 2500 tonne of wheat a year.

Will take our system anyday. But history now
