So if it's alright for a few freedom loving farmers to opt out of CWB marketing why can't the same be done for dairy and egg markets? Wouldn't that be fair?

How do domestic support programs like milk and eggs relate to the international markets the CWB are in?

Agstar. If the wheat I grow was getting the comparative returns to that of milk and chicken farmers, I would be the number 1 CWB supporter. If the CWB can garner support from the other wheat exporting nations to form a cartel similar to OPEC the CWB might get my support also.In the meantime as U.S. producers in a free market economy are receiving substantially more for their wheat, the CWB will not garner my support
