anyone delivering #1 HRS Wheat

[almoy]

allmoy, I also have close to 70% of my Wheat delivered. You're right there is only 40% open. But in my area lots of guys can't haul do to bugs, tough grain etc. So I've been lucky to fill their spots.

Snappy, sorry about not answering your question I got caught up with the Macarthyists who are paranoid and think there is a commie behind every bush.

Now when Canola was under the CWB (or was it -this was long before my time ? any ways the days of ****seed are long gone and the oilseed that is grown today does not resemble its predesessor
much except for the yellow flower. So how can you compare ? Besides what is the net return, on my farm last year my Nexxera Canola left me with a NEGATIVE $46/ acre (using variable costs only) My board crops were alot better than this. Price is only 1/2 of the equation.

Almoy, all I know is the AU agent (SW MB)told me there was a new call. I said "to 60%" he said "yup" I didn't question too hard. They wanted wheat and I am eager to deliver.

[AdamSmith]

Almoy,

I guess my agent has alot of friends, because we were waiting over half an hour to unload. Everything from super B's to 1962 3 ton's. All had cwrs.

Not that this has anything to do with anything but when your waiting in line you observe things and what I observed was that those little old 300 bushel trucks usually take alot longer to unload than semis do.

[AdamSmith]

Mustardman,nice way to dodge the bullet, all you CWB supporters are so good at that.

[cottonpicken]

Adam when did i say anything about closing down a free market?I take it you were ASSuming.
It would take a lot of words to explain what cuba is and i probably would not change anyones mind so i'm not going to bother.I swear there is a hypnotic trigger in most peoples brains that makes them hit the deck when the word communist is mentioned.

Adam i new you were pretty shallow but the three ton truck comment was a very arrogant.

Just wanting to get people back on track. i did a little more shopping of my #1 CWRS and found another elevator who has stock piled a lot of high protein CWRS so that producers could take advantage of the early protein spreads. So much for not having to have marketing skills when selling CWB Grains. I do think there is some truth to the fact that companies get use to pulling certain grains from certain areas. I just happen to be close to an elevator that handles lots of canola.

[almoy]

AdamSmith, The farmers in this area either own semis or hire them as we have no elevators close enough to haul with 3 tons.My point was that there are farmers with no wheat delivered that are told there is NO room while others in the same area are over delivering. Same type and protien level. I believe once the CWB is gone this will become common.

[almoy]

So Almoy, if it's happening now you say with the CWB, when they're gone you think this will still be common??

I don't understand what you mean??

[AdamSmith]

cottonpicken, what the @%*& is shallow about observing that it takes a long time to unload an old 3 ton with a slow hoist and only the little slide end gate? I never said they shouldn't be there I only said they're slow to unload. You're the one who took what I said to mean something other than a simple observation.

and

So you do support a free market in wheat. That's good. I just never quite knew for sure.

Mustardman,

I was simply quoting old communist jokes!

A communist party member was riding in a taxi and asked the driver if he was more happy, or less happy; about things since they were now in charge!

The taxi Driver says: Less Happy;

The Party member asks: WHY?

The taxi driver said he had two suits before... but now can only afford one.

The Party member said... just count your blessings... you should be happy you don't live in Africa... they are completely naked over there!

The Taxi driver then asked, Oh, When did they have their revolution!


My Star Choice had "THe Hammer and the Tickle - Communist Jokes" on the Documentary CHannel. A Mandatory participation class for our home school students!

The DOcumentary goes:

There was one thing that was better than everything else about Communism; and that was their JOKES!

These were authored by the people over there... not me Mustardman!

What is a communist Joke; Mustardman?

1. Class enemies invent them,
2. Comrads tell them,
3. The central committee put them into practice!

DId you hear the joke about potatoes in the Soviet Union?

The farmer says: There are so many potatoes, if they were piled up into one pile... they would touch the foot of God!

The Comusary... says... just wait a minute there is NO God in the Soviet Union!

THe farmer says: I know... there are no potatoes either!



Don't you remember the 7 million who were starved to death in the Ukraine?
Most of them farmers... Mustardman!

THat brings me to the Ukranian Joke with starving Skeletons.

Two fathers are talking about their sons!

One says to the other: My son is going to play William Tell in School...

The other father says: That's great but where are they going to get the apple!


Two sparcely clad skeletons are talking on a park bench.

First Skeleton: How did you die?

Second Sketeton: From the famine following the forced collectivisation of farms in the Ukraine.

Second Skeleton: How about you?

First Skeleton: OH; I am still alive thank God.

Second Skeleton: Don't you know, there is NO God now... you should say thank Stalin!

First Skeleton: Well, what if Stalin dies, what should I say then?

Second Skeleton: Then, you should say THANK GOD!



Did you hear about the Soviet judge who was laughing and laughing so hard he could hardly contain himself?

A friend asked... what was so funny?

The Judge contained himself from laughing just long enough to say:

I can't tell you...

I just sentinced the guy who told it, to... 10 years of prision!


Did you hear there was a competition in the Soviet Union for best Political Joke?

1st Prize was 25 years!
