CWB system is padding the pockets of U.S. grain companies

[Fransisco]

Good post Francisco!! I love it when a person gets the CWB supporters in a corner, that they have no reply to such a good post.

Benny, "are you getting rich growing oats at $1.6-$2.00 / bu most years?"

Benny I'n not sure where you farm, but in my area I'll take $1.80 oats, and crush the profit on my 45bu/ac $4.50 Wheat crop any year!!!

[Fransisco]

Thanks for the support guys.

Here's another factoid for Benny to chew on while he's polishing off another bowl of cheerios.

The number of acres of oat's grown in Manitoba has tripled since Charlie Mayer took it out from under the single desk.

So tell us all again Benny about how farmers think its such a terrible thing to try and make money growing oat's.

Let me guess all those acres aren't real either.

Wasn't Charlie Mayer one of Mulroney's goons?

Didn't the Liberals have to UNDO some of his decisions regarding barley marketing?

My memory is not as good as it used to be.

Wilagro,

Wasn't it Ralph Goodale that started the CWB on the track to pad grain co's pockets... and take the opportunity away from "designated area" grain growers...

Because some growers they figured out how to get more for fusarium infected wheat in the U.S.(that the CWB said to burn) than the CWB was offering for good wheat through normal markets?

THis is your kind of justice and value you claim to "help" your neighbour?

If you were going to build a pasta plant, and you had to pay the CWB a price that included all the transportation to a foreign market, why not just build it in that foreign market if other costs were cheaper there? The system insures that expensive transportation costs are permanently deducted from any price we receive?

= no new pasta plant in Saskatchewan.

Farmers have examined their cash.

We have achieved financially dismality because the status quos supporters:

1. Admit nothing
2. Deny everything
3. Look for a scapegoat.

This type of farmer/director/advisor is of no value to the farmer needing more cash out of agriculture.

We cannot afford more of the same.

Looks like the word of the day award goes to Parsley for 'dismality'.

[agstar77]

Gee and I thought Parsley had found a scapegoat for all the woes of farmers. I can't believe there are no other more pressing concerns than the CWB.

[parsley]

agstar77, this is your motto;

"I can't believe in farmers".

Parsley

[agstar77]

No you certainly don't.

[Fransisco]

I guess you can add one more thing to the list Parsley.

4. Distract from, andor deflect the evidence.

[Fransisco]

So then agstar, you don't have a problem with the CWB selling US companies our grain at fire-sale prices?
