Should Alberta create an Alberta Wheat and Barley Marketing Board?
We see that the Ontario Wheat Board is doing the marketing job that works to increase their individual wheat farmers’ returns.
Every Ontario wheat producer is important and matters in Ontario.
The Ontario Board is concerned that a way be made that every farm can grow wheat with innovation and profitability in mind, for that individual farming situation!
Because Ontario has Corn and Soybeans, if the Ontario Wheat Board doesn’t facilitate growers with profitable marketing strategies, no one in Ontario will seriously grow wheat.
The soft white wheat growers in southern Alberta know what this is about!
The “designated area” flour millers and malsters have Alberta grain farmers, over a barrel with the CWB in charge, and they know it!
In the “designated area” the individual GRAIN PRODUCER is simply a PROBLEM that MUST be CONTROLLED and BEAT into SUBMISSION. Can the CWB as presently constituted change to an Ontario style of governance?
Most would say this is not a priority or in the minds of those in power governing the CWB, except for Jim Chatenay and Rod Flaman who also must be controlled and beat into submission, right now.
If Ontario is allowed to do market with individual profitability in mind, why shouldn’t Alberta do the same?
