Good news bad news

Braveheart, I heard a report of a town plumber getting a ballot. Never farmed in his life. His father, who has since passed on, did farm ten years ago.

Just goes to show that in order for any vote to be of value, must be able to vote by shares or tonnes sold. That way a vote only has meaning if there is production to go with it and 100000 bushels in 05 and 06 would mean something, 3500 bushels in 1990 wouldn't mean anything.

Adam,

Depends upon how much you get per bushel, doesn't it?

[AdamSmith]

Parsley, not if you got it in 1990! or 1995.

It's either one man one vote like an election or it's a corporate model vote based on current shares held. And since there are no shares you must base it on something else. Acres, Tonnes, or as you say value of production. I really don't care which just as long as it's weighted somehow.

[parsley]

You're right. I wasn't reading what you WROTE.

Sorry about that, Adam.

BTW, do you know how many of the 4300 barley voters were cattlemen? Any stats?

Depends on where you sold it? Did you sell it to the CWB or the local feedlot...its all barley right?
How about barley silage or hayland that was once in barley?
Maybe these brave souls got sick of getting screwed by the CWB and decided they had had enough of that BS? But fact remains...they could still sell barley if they chose?
A whole lot of former grain farmers voted with their seed drill...or their silage cutter!
How many places in western Canada can't grow barley? It is about the easiest crop to grow!
The big fact is this: There should be NO plebicite on barley...it is your right to grow whatever you damned well please and not have every Tom, Dick and Harry decide where you will sell it!

Damn thread pirates, the whole lot of ya, arrrrr! Ai Billy; have you ever been to sea laddy. Oh no Captain Hindgrinder, not to sea.......

I think Craig was talking about the feedmill/ethanol plant, not the CWB once yet endlessly again....

Western Bioenergy bought the land by Lavoy, still have yet to see a business plan though.

Most will await if the tax parity is anounced in the budget.

WD9;

Have you ever heard of this brain wasting disease called CWB in the northern hemisphere?

C: stands for a Canglomeration ... within a certain area called the "designated area" in Canada where rural people in this area have been especially genetically mutated and are culturally selected to grow wheat and barley. The harsh cold climate and Aurora Borealis has a mutating environmental effect on the effected people.

W: stands for the wasting disease that causes the brains of these genetically mutated and selected grain growers to go into great contortions and mental distress if anyone ever speaks an "evil" against this wasting disease that... occupies the minds of these disabled folks on long dark nights... especially when it is cold... and there is less than 10 hours of sunlight.

B: is for numbing effect this mutation has on the brain... a phenomenon that can include speech impediments and brain impairments... that are not found anywhere else on the globe... except in one far region deep in the southern hemisphere... Australia I believe.

This disabling disease causes delusions and dementia in which any normal subject matter can be instantly and without warning be turned into one of the following:

A ) a communist plot to throw God fearing grain growers in jail for just trying to provide food and shelter for their families…
Or,
B) Conversely a Capitalist scheme in which an all powerful Multi-demon-Usanglomeration; is plotting to take over the world with a “new world order” which will plunge all comrads into an eternity of seducing brimstone burning in a mental lake of fire and destruction. THese folks are said to see Buuurning Bushes when surfing the

Deep in the southern hemisphere the C is replaced with an A… which means “Auglomeration” a continent that got the other half of the mentally mutated misfits from the EU when it needed Down Under Emu feathers to decorate the Canadian beaver pelts!

Sorry for the distraction WD9!

Maybe this mutation can be healed with a Conservative application of Canola oil to heal the mutated brain cells... some special IMC Nexera convergence (applied to stop scalping) and another application that helps them with H.E.A.R.ing (a special injection) in the Right ear only!
