When I talked to a Miller in Kansas City; He was insisting there was no low Px winter wheat in the US system, eriod.

Same goes for Hard spring wheat he said.

Therefore the protien payments on winter and spring wheat this year are a matter of CWB form and artificial to the market forces here in North America.

Simply put; the CWB Single DEsk forces the sale of lower Px wheat at large discounts to actual market value.

In fact there are premium markets for lower px wheat... as the numbers above indicate.

Or have I missed something?

Tom I asked you at a public meeting when you ran for the CWB that if you found more money in the pockets of farmers with the CWB if you would change your mind about ending their powers. you would not answer the question then . how about now?

"Tom I asked you at a public meeting when you ran for the CWB that if you found more money in the pockets of farmers with the CWB if you would change your mind about ending their powers."

" More money " in the pockets of CWB farmers... when they took it without permission and against the will of a neighbour grower...

Is Immoral, wrong, and theft.

CWB powers as used today are a curse on the "designated area" of Canada.

Ill gotten gain; that spoils our communities.



In principal, no person (farmer who needs market choice) should have their property (grain) confiscated by a large group of CWB "single desk" supporters...

In an Immoral vote;


Who want a free ride on the back of innovative hard working neighbours.

Please grow your grain, sell it to whom ever you think is worthy... work with whomever you need or want to... in the spirit of co-operation and integrety.

In this spirit we could even work with Other Canadian, American, Australian, Argentinian, Eastern European, and any other grain grower on this little blue planet... to provide high quality food to a hungry world... at a fair price.

Now this would be a co-operative organisation worth belonging to!

I guess in Tom speak that means no. Must be Irish, a principle is a principle is a principle.

It'd interesting that now that the conservatives are in power that CWB supporters are complaining about the injustices of political interference. Do you not think that Ralph Goodale did not have any influence in the control and operation of the CWB. If there was ever a year in which the CWB has failed in marketing and providing appropriate returns for our wheat it is this year. Craig
