Logical Common Sense

There is no question that markets can rise or fall quickly Wilagro. But that's the reason Single Desk Supporters don't want a Dual Market. There are a ton ways to protect yourself from falling markets. I don't believe you know this?? It's much easier to sit back and the the CWB do it for you right?? Well sorry I like to take care of my own buisness and run my own farm. That's why Dual Market you can still choose the CWB if you wish.

As for price pooling... Garbage. Wilagro when in the last 10 years have you been able to take advantage of a rally with the CWB??

The past 2 years I've done all mt Wheat with a DPC and a FPC contract, I signed up my Wheat in July. Not once in 7 months has my DPC been less than $0.50/bus above the PRO. So are you telling me the CWB had all their sales made by July/06, for the 07 year??? I don't think so. But you are such a die CWB supporter, I doubt you even know what a DPC, or FPC contract is.

What is this Parsley ?Red baiting?I'm not going to debate ony wrongdoing with you.It is the job of these people to handle the money on behalf of the state and their supporters.Not to answer to any idiot.You don't seem to worry about the big limousines at cargill hq.It is the job of the cwb to ensure that there is no profit in the industry,and then share all the profits equally.

1. I did not say there was wrongdoing by anyone. My point is why doesn't Gordon Machej reveal his CWB commisioner experience on his Accreditor exporter link? It's odd.

3. You say in the same sentence:"there is no profit in the industry,and then share all the profits equally. " What are you saying here, or do you even know?

I find your arguments lack rationality at times.

Most guys don't grow malt, because it is such a pain to get it selected. Standards change each year, selectors are fussy on good years and lax on bad years when there is little grain around, like this year for example! Guys don't like to submit samples, then be told that their grain is no good, bummer. The list or reasons to reject the grain is yards long. And guess what, it is a case of farmers, doing it to farmers, the Grain Commission that represents farmers sets standards way to high... nuf said, its only grain after all.

The Canadian Grain Commission has no involvement in selecting malt barley - that is done by individual maltster/malt barley exporters. You can have a sample reviewed by the CGC to see which grade category you get paid but that is simply a pooling issue.

What does it matter whether or not there are profits,as long as everybody gets the same?You people bake the pie,WE will divide it up.

Wilagro, I see the problem. You don't know how to market your grain.

Tell me Wilagro, when in the last 10 years have you ever been able to take advantage of the rallies in Wheat or Barley? I've for the last 2 years done all my Wheat off of a FPC, or DPC contract, not once in the past 8 months has my DPC come anything less than being a $.50/bus premium over the PRO. But being the CWB supporter you are you probably don't even know what a FPC or DPC is. And further more since the DPC and FPC started they've always held a premium to the PRO.

One more thing to add Wilagro. Just was reading an article tonight that said the CWB missed out on most of the Wheat rally due to alot of sales last summer. I 'll ask you this Wilagro. Would you have had your Wheat sold last July for your 06 harvest?? Nope... Yeah that price pooling is working great for us isn't it!!!

I am writing from my bunker as the flak flies above me. Now where is that white flag? The rather heated discussions over the CWB and the its impact have been great. However, I have a confession to make. I haven't produced any grain for years now...only enough for my cattle. Since they (Agricore) closed the local elevator, and world grain prices have hit the skids...what is the point? Most of my farm is seeded to forage crops.
I don't have the answers for solving the grain growers dilemna, but if you expect meaningful gov't assistance or even a consistent agricultural policy in Canada your dreaming in technicolour. The CWB policies at times do not make sense for certain sectors of the farming or business community but at least they have shown a desire to adapt and change (mostly as a result of producers demands).
Keep up the good fight and don't let the forces of the 'EVIL EMPIRE' (eastern Liberal b------s) get the best of you.
I will be collecting my OAP shortly...I will soon have more annual NET income than I received from farming. Having a TAXABLE income...will indeed be a pleasant surprise.
