anyone delivering #1 HRS Wheat

[parsley]

mustardman,

In 1947, you would have been in the special government-seats,front row, cheering-on the gov't to take away the farmers' rights to market their own grain, to duly create a state-marketing CWB, limb by limb,.... so it is not really surprising to listen to you rant and have a tantrum when a 2007 gov't tears it apart limb by limb.

That scenario is a flashback to exactly why Tom's and a lot of families came to Canada. For a better life. Better.

You would love farming in Cuba. State run. State owned. Government seats in the front row. Important decisions about your farm made by important people. (Not you.)


Perhaps Stephane Dion can help you get dual citizenship.

How the topic of delivering #1 CWRS gets sidetracked to Stalin's Purges is beyond me but since where here,

I am currently delivering #1 CWRS that will take me to 60% delivered on the A series. In fact I didn't even know we had a new call on wheat. The agent said he wanted my POOR WHEAT, so I loaded up some crappy fusarium infected cps which I had contracted to them for $4.25 bu and hauled it up. When I got there he told me that was not what he wanted he wanted my bleached cwrs to blend with all the nice red stuff he was bringing in (they are giving me a #1 for it). I said #1 no one told me we had a new call on wheat and #2 I don't consider my slightly bleached cwrs to be POOR WHEAT. Anyway, were now hauling cwrs.

Which obviously and by all common logic brings up Stalin's purges. Don't we all see the connection here?

Anywho, I encourage Mustardman to Google "Stalin's Purges"

The Great Purge (Russian: Áîëüøàÿ ÷èñòêà, transliterated Bolshaya chistka) is the name given to campaigns of political repression and persecution in the Soviet Union orchestrated by Joseph Stalin during the late 1930s. It involved the purge of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the persecution of unaffiliated persons, both occurring within a period characterized by omnipresent police surveillance, widespread suspicion of "saboteurs", imprisonment, and killings.

Millions of people died in the purges. Several hundreds of thousands were executed by shooting and millions were forcibly resettled. Many were imprisoned and tortured or sent to labor camps, both functioning as part of the GULAG system. Many died at the labor camps due to starvation, disease, exposure and overwork. The Great Purge was started under the NKVD chief Genrikh Yagoda, but the height of the campaigns occurred while the NKVD was headed by Nikolai Yezhov, from September 1936 to August 1938; this period is sometimes referred to as the Yezhovshchina ("Yezhov era"). However the campaigns were carried out according to the general line, and often by direct orders, of the Party Politburo headed by Stalin.

Adam Smith - yes it is amazing how this website - at least some who use it - always get sidetracked into comparing CWB with communism - I see you are a student of history and are therefore quite aware of the diferrences.

Parsley yes they say the weather in Cuba is beautiful at this time of year , I'll send you a postcard.

[cottonpicken]

Cuba is actually a success story.They have overcome massive obstacles and the people LOVE their leader.
Remember pinochet of chile,he was the exact opposite of castro and guess who put him in power.
Would cubans be more happy if they were like their neighbour hati.
Somebody needs to give their head a shake when they compare communist stalin to socialist tommy douglas.That is the kind of logic that makes me question if a person is boarder line retarded.
Socialists dont have all the answers but they are far from evil.

mustardman,

When you state:

"As far as our fed. gov't, they will get my respect when they get gov't out of changing the cwb and let us do it thru our elected directors"

Elected Directors are like Barbi-dolls. They dress nice but it's the the CWB/Gov't that dresses them up.

What you are revealing to Agri-villers is that you you don't even realize that the CWB was created by Government for Government, is run by Government, and cannot be changed by anyone BUT bloody government.

Farmers' only role is to grow grain. Not to put on the show. Or to stop the show. Governments have always had the legislative say. Final say, mustardman. They are the show.

The only present role of farmers is to apply to Government to get front row seats at the show, and indeed, the CWB will have handed out front seat tickets, which is what you worry about. "What did my neighbor get?"

For any farmer worth his ancestor's salt, (to immigrate here for a better life), he had better learn what the CWB really is...a state instrument.... what it does....state intervention.

Don't do yourself a disservice, mustardman. Admit you have a state run agency, and quit trying pretend and pass it off as farmer-run.

cottonpicken,

I consider the basic successes of a country is 1)if people are free and 2)people do not have to go hungry.

Cuba's people go hungry. They cannot leave the country. North Korea's people go hungry. They cannot leave the country.

You might re-consider what you wrote.

cottonpicken, you said "Would cubans be more happy if they were like their neighbour haIti."

I'm sure they wouldn't, but judging by the number of people who have risked being eaten by sharks by catching the first available inner tube to Miami, I bet cubans would have been much happier and prosporous if they were more like Canadians or Americans.

You also said "That is the kind of logic that makes me question if a person is boarder line retarded."

kinda like a commodities and currency trader advocating closing down the free market and open price discovery in favour of a political motivated price control "board".

Sometimes people are just hard to figure out.

[mustardman]

GEE Whiz Parsley I take it you did not vote for the pro board director in your area or maybe you are a disgrintled non- voter.

AdamSmith, according to the CWB site there is only a 40% call on No.1 CWRS. Is this another case of a friend of the agent getting ahead of the rest in delivery? I would imagine the agent has knowledge that the contract will open soon. We hear of large farmers in this area over delivering while the small farmers are told there is no space.

[almoy]

Parsley, well said. I was reading this laughing to myself.

Parlsey I'm glad you pointed this out to Mustardman. I didn't have the heart to embarass him.

Mustardman why won't you answer my question??
