We are not alone

Wilagro if all crops were under CWB control then we would have no domestic processing. Then I suppose we should have kept the crow so that we can export everything for below cost of production also.

[agstar77]

I must agree with Parsley the CWB is government control now that Minister Strahl is running it by Order in Council. Individuals farmers have lost control of the CWB.

[kamichel]

Just a reminder to the CWB supporters. This is a vote on barley monopoly, not really on the existence of the CWB. Just thought I should mention that because the locals here that support the CWB monopoly on barley think that it is a vote on the existence of the CWB and the world as we know it.

So enlighten me Agstar, when did Strahl change the cwb act? MHO is that Strahl is applying the act that was developed & forced down our throats by Goodale.

Agstar;of course the cwb is state controlled comrade!How else can it run the rails,elevators,etc?How else can we jail dissenters/revisionists?Don't pretend for aminute that state control is not what we want or what we have.How else can the likes of you and me get on top?Boss our neighbors?Its just these fools in Ottowa now trying to give up our cherished power.

Winwin: and protect us from ourselves because individuals do not know what is best.

How come when my CWB cheques finally arrive I feal so alone?

Lifer,

I would just appreciate a CWB statement that would explain why thousands of dollars of deductions were subtracted from my cheque!

Sometimes they add back thousands the next cheque... it is pure loopy accounting.

If the CWB is so carefull to track everything... perhaps they could add back the excess "contingency fund" adjustment factors... and give this money to the folks who earned it!

[kamichel]

Tom they deduct tens of thousands of dollars from your check then they take off dockage after. So in my case they are charging me 1.7 dollars per bushel for my dockage. Only CWB grains are subject to this.

[TOM4CWB]

kamichel,

In the past years on the interm cheques/statements, the CWB has been mixing pool and PPO priced grains. It is not at all easy to determine what has happened... as a lump sum is subtracted...

No accounted amount that matches the specific deliveried grain it applied to is on the accounting statement.

It is a "trust me" system... that has obviously made mistakes.

[Lifer]

Tom I would love to see something added back to my cheques I never have. I have only seen deductions.

Wilagro I really don't understand how the group farmers for limited choice or no choice if you must, is some how a bright spot for wheat board supporters.

As a supporter of having a wheat board, I find it hard to believe that this group does not seem to recognize the power of parliament. The wheat board is an agency of government in transition to being more accountable and beneficial to growers. I don't see how a group like this will help get us to a better wheat board.

No this group looks to me like it will make more farmers in the end more alone.

lifer;"The wheat board is an agency of government in transition to being more accountable and beneficial to growers."

I agree but our "New Canadian Government" is not going to let the CWB adapt in it's ultimate transition. They want to weaken it, and I believe in the end, kill it.

Anyway, whether the site quoted can be of benefit is entirely up to the viewer. It is just a choice than one can make.
