    Hi All
    At least the CWB has some sense. It has only appointed ONE independant consultant. If it had appointed 2 it would have got 2 different opinions.
    How is someone suposed to determine such a question, which did come first the chicken or the egg?

    If Chas is not going to a farmcorp meeting anyone else feel like going and giving us their views on the proceedings.
    I would be espesially interested to hear what Tom or Parsley thought of the people trying to get this off the ground.
    I know you believe you have to fix the CWB first but I have found solutions in the strangest places, usually when I am looking for something else.

    So how about it anyone willing to attend a meeting for me??

    Regards Ian

      ianben, I'll call a guy and see if he's going to a meeting in his hometown. He'll give me a true report. Maybe they'll all decide to sell FOB from the farm.

        Happy St. Patrick's DayAgri-villers!

        IanBen, Whether Farmcorp, or a Professional Marketing Farmers Association, or whether it's Producers Marketing Band,..... they all have the same problem.....

        They can scout the markets....they can have the market in their hand..... they can bribe a premium market..... they can wine and dine the buyer.....they can can have a legal contract with the buyer living in HeavenPayingLanderville....

        the point is they eventually either need an interprovincial license...or an export license. ....... the laws of Canada says that we cannot export without one.

        At the present time, the CWB DENIES producers in Western Canada a license. The CWB denies the license. The CWB denies the license.

        So what happens when Farmcorp gets farmers a wonderful deal...and we are denied a license? (In Eastern Canada, they are automatically granted an export license.) That's the problem.

        The CWB is the problem.

          Parsley doesn't anything run right over at your house. The only positive thing you ever did was dress your bride in white so your dishwasher would match your stove and fridge. Mash up some dandelions buddy you"ll feel better in the morning. Free advice giver: Chas.

            Hi Parsley
            A happy St Patrick's day to you too.
            Do you have any Irish connectons?
            I have just picked my daughter up from the airport, she now lives and works in Dublin, could be something to do with the Irish boy friend.
            I love the spring too!!
            I find I am full of energy and optimism at this time of year, and life is wonderful. Come November/December I just want to eat and sleep and feel pessimistic.
            Perhaps I have some bear genes and should hibernate.
            Does going south like Chas make you feel better in the winter??
            Does that then make spring less speacial??
            I have always fancied farming in Australia and having two springs/yr. A guy not far from me has done it. He farms 1000acres here and 5000acres not far from Perth. Lucky B.
            Thanks for the help on farmcoup. I look forward to the report.

            So what happens if we get a wonderful deal???
            Well I think if you had a deal!!! the rest would be easy.
            Everyone would want the CWB to change.
            Governments can't happy spending tax-payers money trying to solve OUR problems and never suceeding.
            All farmers would want the same better
            deal.
            Even the CWB might want to change then,
            if it could see a real threat to its future. Sticks and stones will hurt my bones but WORDS will never hurt me!!!

            But it might be too late then that would be up to you.
            If we could just get ourselves even half organised we would be able achieve thing we only dream about today.

            Do you agree this could be true??

            Regards Ian

              Ianben, I'm a Swede...not Irish...there is a meeting on the 20th I think I can get a report on it. Going to try.

              Chas, things here are humming along really fine, but you should get pretty sore, no, fighting mad, over Board shenanigans, especially on St. Patrick's Day. The Irish would approve, lad. The bride in this house certainly does.
