To all the guys in this thread defending the CWB,what are you guys going to do when the conservatives get into power,and throw that F***ing board out. It just amazes me how stupid farmers are watch money being stole from them every year and still believe the board has are best interest at heart. Give me a break. Why is the board 2 years ago was offering $5.00/bus fixed price contracts, then come fall the pro is at 3.50. The board if having are best interests at heart should have been making sales at these prices?(they probably did and sold for 5 giving us 3.50). Didn't any of you guys get a letter saying the board would only take 80% of A series contracts now, if I were to tell the board I only had 80% of my locked up tonnes to deliver you think they'd be so forgiving? Give your head a shake guys. Go Conservatives Go!!!!

signed a A series contract for cps wheat. Since I signed it the pros keep on dropping The cwb can't take delivery of it in the for a few months I am carrying them. My price with the pro is 2.67 a bushel in the pit. I could sell it on the open market for 3.25 BUT the CWB who can't take delivery wants to charge me 6 dollars a tonne. So the same as our southern neighbors. They get you signed up in good faith that they will do a good job of selling your product, then they sell you short. I can't wait for a dual market. Only reason the NDP wants the wheatBoard saved is the CWB is unionized and in the NDP's back pocket

[sawfly]

the conservtives probaly will axe the board
it is not what i want but at least a lot of people wont have their whipping boy .
cant blame your dog dieing on the CWB anymore.
and they will have to open their eyes and look for the real problems

Yeah the wicked witch is dead

Profarmer

$3.25-2.67 = .58 per bushel or $21.30 per tonne. If you can get $3.25 per bushel and it costs you 6.00 per tonne to get and extra $21.30 please tell me

"What are you waiting for"??????

[Vader]

SawFly you must be an old farmer who will fight for the board no matter what they do. Times change the CWB is a joke. ProFarmer totally agree with you we got guys here in SE Sask who have #3 hard red locked up on the board for 2.75/bus (according to CWB latest pro) and you can sell feed down here for 3.00 PU on farm!!! Sawfly the CWB is my whipping boy because they're a F***ING JOKE. One more thing what kind of buyer charges you to recieve your money?? Eg. Taking out EPO's they charge you so much a tonne to take out your money!! Now there throwing out the 80% option because it was the cheapest and everyone was signing it up(but they have my best interest at heart) Sawfly you just keep on supporting the CWB,and when your 70's money runs out mabye you'll get with reality.

[Vader]

Sorry ProFarmer to jump in here, but Vader your no better than Sawfly, why should Profarmer pay the 6.00tonne?? How much did I get paid a tonne for the board backing out of my A series contract?? Not a dime so if he wants out why should he pay a penalty??

How old are you toughgoofit?

[cheapskidoo]

Sorry to bud in here Lakenhealth, but i have to agree with Toughgoofit on the wheat board and the NDP's. The Wheat Board is a joke. Why can I consecutively sell my canola which is not "supply managed" and still make more money than my wheat. I think that Mr. Harper has the right alternative which is a dual marketing system.Let the supporters use the board and the rest of us will market our own wheat and barley then we will see who is on top. The Western Producer says that malt barley stocks are minimal,and I know that there was very little malt in our area and prices are still shit. WHy does the wheat board not reflect this. There has been 2 bad years in a row for malt and they still won't pay the producer. The only reason we grow malt is because it is better than wheat and we need it for rotation, what the hell does a guy do. The wheat board and the NDP represent everything that is wrong with agriculture especially with the NDP in SK.
