High buy-backs and the CWB
I can only assume from the CWB logic that the most valuble grain which a farmer can get a premium from by exporting to the USA is feed grain or lower grade wheat and barley.
Yet #1CWRS buy-backs are pay-backs to the grower who does them.
I can only interpret this to mean that the CWB discount sells high quality wheat into the US, but prevents the sale of lower grade wheat and barley from freely flowing into the US because of the buy-back tariff.
How else can I look at it, from a purely economic standpoint?
