Is Cuthbert the best star the CWB has?
Bob Cuthbert claims the CWB doesn't like websites and media quoting the high spots bid, which poor old Cuthbert whined, are "making the PRO not look very good",
No kidding.
Bob Cuthbert was dipassed (from sitting at the computer all week)from spending all his time accessing USDA numbers so he could articulate this little gem for DA farmers, "Don't be fooled by high spot bids."
CWB using AMERICAN WEBSITES. Now there was a confession.
This went over Cuthbert's head:
1.First of all the USDA actually supplies the numbers to everone, including farmers! Open transparent, available. Serving the CWB itself in a timely, orderly and accessible fashion.
2. Now, go to the CWB website and research their farmgate numbers. DA farmers...wait...wait....wait...wait...
Access to Information will come in April so you can actually GET some numbers. In the meantime, it is none of your business you stupid yahoos.
3. Cuthbert touted CWB numbers Alan Oberg would use to peacock the single desk.
The only problem is, what if Cuthbert dreamed the CWB data? What if Cuthbert read the secret CWB numbers, and got it mixed up with,say, Indonesian data?
How cn farmers verify what comes out of Cuthbert's mouth about what the CWB is pricing, or was pricing or might be pricing, AT THE FARMGATE?
Farmers need to analyse farmgate data, but it is all scribbled on a hand napkin in the garbage can in the Wheat Board's exercise room.
But notice Weber actually gave Cuthbert the time of day. "Equal opportunity", Weber called it.
With unverifiable credibility like the CWB sports, the CWB deserves to be shown any radio station's door.
