Chas,
Let us say wheat is 8.00 instead of 5.00, Canola is 9.50 instead of 6.50, and barley was 4.50 instead of 2.25.
I ask you where would we put all the extra grain that there was no market for?
Who would store it?
Wouldn't the result create an economic disaster?
Wouldn't it be better to create products that people and consumers are actually willing and happy to pay for?
THis I beleive should and must be our objective. I do not see the CWB having enough flexibility to be able to facilitate, rather than deciding what is best for our farms.
Market signals, yes ones that really require intuition and close comunication with the specific customer are a must to acheive this type of a value adding system.
Could the CWB do this?
They do it with the Feed Mills, why not do it with "designated area" wheat and barley farmers?
