CWB Surrogates

[mustardman]

With The disrespect this new gov't has for democracy a question like that would not surprise me or- maybe they will talk to Lucien Bouchard and his boys -they were great at coming up with conviluted confusing questions
such as in the last Quebec referendum.

I grow 11 different crops on my farm,
one of which is marketed thru CWB, the other 10 are the same marketing system
we have had since the time of christ - the open market-
wouldn,t it be great to have green lentils under a marketing board -
We would definitely have some market power then.
Uh Oh I hear Tom going to get his Pulpit

So why wouldn't a different type of wheat board market green lentils? Would it be compulsory or volunteery? Many communities in Saskatchewan have invested in pulse processing. What would their relationship be with the CWB?

[ric]

Private & community run pulse proccesors would be no different from companies that now handle cwb grains. Oh maybe one difference, the cheques would always clear!

[wd9]

Ahh but see Charlie, with the open market the CWB could do all that and more if they did a good job, farmers would go there. Isn't that how business is supposed to work.

Adam Smith,

A couple of questions:

Where could one find this document on the internet?

Have you sent the link to Chuck Strahl so he could see what these clowns are up to?

[AdamSmith]

liberty, all I can say is that they're out there in the ether of cyberspace.

No, I personlly never forwarded the documents to the ministers office because the CWB surragates already did that. They just weren't bright enough to remove the cwb's fingerprints.

So a value the CWB brings to wheat/barley and could provide other grains is ensuring financial integrity of farmer deliveries/payments? It might also look after some of the financial, pricing, delivery and logistics risk for pulse companies.
