When choice wins in the barley plebicite and then in the following wheat pleabicite would it be possible for the Canadian wheat board to merge with the Ontario model or quebecs for that matter. In fact I would encourage them to do that to price diferentiare themselves out of the marke.

That seems to be the sticking point they can price discriminate read undercut the market to make the sale. Or they can price discriminate to make it the same price with freight backed of to another supplier
THERE IS NO MONOPOLY

2001 78% of the wheat produced in Ontario was sold to OWPMB

2002.....complete elimination of single‑desk with 76% of the wheat produced in Ontario sold to OWPMB.

2003...first year after the elimination of the single‑desk. OWPMB marketed only 18% of the wheat produced in Ontario.

2004---- 13%

2005 ---33%

just-wondering:
why stop at merging with Ontario and Quebec marketing boards. I'd be willing to bet that there's some farmers in North Dakota that would join a voluntary wheat board - call it the North American Wheat Board (NAWB).

[kamichel]

North Dakota , interesting. I wonder if the CWB directors thought of that?

Winwin
you were more credible when you were just Tom4CWB telling commie jokes.

[mustardman]

Parsley and Tom
I think Bennyhin was asking about volume in terms of tonnes.
How much wheat is produced in Ontario?

Very small amount is exported I believe, most going to mills situated close by.

[parsley]

winwin's replies say almost the same thing as the new CWB Director Kornychuck used to write in all the farm papers. The similarity in the message makes you wonder!

mustardman, the number of bushels is irrelevant. What matters first of all is whether or not the famer can sell his own grain, and secondly, how much money the farmer puts into his pocket!

In his pocket

You are thinking CWB hands in my pocket.

Seems Parsley can find all kind of obscure data on the internet (although I havent seen a Maurice Strong posting for a while), but can find this simple stat:

Cant be too difficult marketing 245,000 of production into a population centre of southern ontario.

This production can be grown by 15 very large W. Canadian farmers alone.

Now, let me see, Western Canada grows how much.. mmmh, and the population base is how much..... mmmh.

TOM4CWB: You still havent answered. Do you also need help with your homework?

Bennyhin
I think Parsley is long gone ,he likes to stir the pot with misinformation and them head off to start a new thread with misinformation.
I wonder if he's on Alberta Agriculture's payroll ?

[chaffmeister]

BennyHin:
Why the interest in relative size between OWPMB and CWB?

Don't know where you get 245,000 - I get 2.6 million tonnes (including winter wheat). And according to Parsley's numbers (33%) that means the OWB "marketed" about 900,000 tonnes in 2005.

Why does this matter?

Since you said "Cant be too difficult marketing 245,000 of production into a population centre of southern ontario", I'm guessing you'd support an open market for ALL domestic wheat. After all, the CWB is a price taker in the domestic market - just ask Jim Thompson (of the CWB).
