AAFC Investigation into Farm Income Crisis

[Vader]

Tom, the Sparks report proves nothing. Many wrong assumptions.

Tom, if you think that your marketing efforts can actually move the world price of wheat higher then you have delusions that can only be addressed by a professional in that field.

If I have misunderstood you and you feel that you can sell your grain for more than the CWB can sell it for then you can do that very effectively with the producer direct sale. You buy it for what the CWB would have sold it for and then you sell it at a higher price and pocket the difference. Simple.

Vader;

Simple to say;

Sparks proves nothing.

Talk about wrong assumptions.

Interesting that you talk about delusions of grandure... Vader... about the "single desk" holding up world prices....especially when the CWB admits numerous times that it is a "price taker".

When I work hard, take all the risk, extract a premium for the services I and my farm provide; why exactly when I sell above the CWB price should I be required to pay a tax to the CWB to sell my own grain, when the CWB provided absolutely no useful service for the tax requested?

When the CWB undercuts my market... that is the right of the "single desk"; when the CWB extracts a tax out of my farm, that is the right of the "single desk".

Please explain how exactly this maximises profits for my farm and my community, and how the "single desk" is anything less than a subsidy to lower federal government cost... that has been a total failure?

Lost prosperity, initiative, and value means a farm income crisis.

Profitable business prevented by the "single desk" is what the whole fight is all about VADER!

Vader;

I am really astounded on the Churchill #1CWRS for Japan!

DO YOU EXPECT me to believe there is no #1CWRS in Alberta in a Farmer's bin today?

A premium, could have easily got the CWB the grain needed... in less than half the time, and for a fraction of the cost!

ASTOUNDING.
