Incognito and Chaffmiester;
The "Value Added" chain is nothing to stop a "single desk" marketer.
Pay back to mnonpoly supporters is key to both the CWB and AWB survival.
WA farmers are stung by the arrogance of our "single desk" managers according to a report at the WCWGA meeting on Friday.
Remember the "iron filings" and sand a year ago in wheat shipments to Iraq?
The AWB "negotiated" a $2m solution to the Iraq problem... and sent the bill to the WA wheat grower.
THe AWB then turned around and collected the $2m from the UN... (off the next shipments)and kept the money for them selves, instead of cancelling the $2m bill to WA wheat growers.
All from the "OOF""Bribe" solution AWB negotiated in the first place.
THis example of AWB management is important to understand... for it sets up a character and code of reference for expected performance... or lack there of.
Mallee expressed a concern about WA shipments to their own flour mills (owned by WA wheat growers)
and...
how Canadian blending wheat was being used in flour mills owned and operated by WA wheat growers... being blended with obviously substandard AWB eastern wheat that would not meet quality standards.
At the same time WA growers were loading boats in WA owned facilities and Ports...
With premium quality WA wheat...
To go to competitive Asia Pacific flour mills... at discount prices... to compete against their own flour mills... that they themselves own.
And there was our CWB.
Right in the middle of this fiasco...
Selling premium quality blending wheat... into a discount market?
What was this pay back for? Iraq... 2000-02?
It is simply astounding the business that is done in the name of the "single desk"... how we are sucked into fear, intimidation, and deceit.
If we knew 10% of what was going on ... there would be a...
Like the 25 cars the CWB sent this year to the US to blow off our CWHWS premium market.
Now the CWB thinks they can get away with a seperate substandard Hard White Pool... because Hard White is worth less? RIGHT!
When market selection and consistant quality shipments of a reasonable velocity are 100% key to hard white premiums in the best milling market on this little planet!
THe CWB is giving the Hard White market... on a silver platter right back to the AWB, and Kansas wheat growers.
We must Drop the 06-07 crop of CDN Hard White production to .5mmt from a projected 3mmt. Like a rock from outer space hitting us "designated area" growers on the head... we had no clue where it came from; or why it was thrown at us.
Wheat in CA. and AU. will be 99.9999999% politics as long as these "single desk" rascals are in charge!
Chuck... may you have the wisdom of Solomon, and the bravery of David in dealing with this issue!
God bless Canada!
