Vader - waiting for your opinion on the barley vote

[Fransisco]

He's probably too busy doing very important CWB work. You know like cheering on Adrian Measner in Ontario.

He doesn't have time to talk(or listen by the way) to farmers.

[wilagro]

Do you guys have to be so darned sadistic? Just because the "so-called plebicite" went your way, do you have to "rub it in"?

Talk about...ornery, you guys take the cake.

All I can say is that I am glad to say that I live in a democracy. Too bad that the pro CWB supporters & the CWB won't abide by the results. I wonder how much of the farmer's money is going to be wasted by the board in fighting the democratic choice of the producers.

Just curious as to why the results of the plebiscite is not considered an opportunity rather than a death sentence (or in your words rubbing it in).

The contracts that the CWB has on the books with the domestic maltsters for 2007/08 more than justify the $237/tonne (port) 2 row malt barley price (same comment 6 row). It is in everyones best interests to ensure performance on these contracts.

There will be a malt barley demand vacuum in Asia off the combine this fall ahead of Aussie harvest and Canada should be in a good position to fill this opportunity at high prices. This to me promises early movement off the combine.

All this suggests that the CWB needs to start working with its partners (farmers, processors, exporters) in creating marketing opportunities starting in August.

[Fransisco]

But...but...that would...gasp...be like, like trying to jump over the, the, gulp...Grand Canyon.

[BennyHin]

why should vader, agstar, or others with similar opinions voice their opinions here anymore? what is the use? the cwb is gone by aug 1,2008, regardless.

[BennyHin]

Well said Benny.

So now that the CWB is gone you going to quit farming??

Snapper: I'm no dirt poor, beer drinking, lazy 7 day a week curler farmer as yourself.

I run trading positions on most commodity exchanges, and trade equities on the the stock markets, been doing so for 15 years.

I have canola and bean postions out to fall 2008 on the books.

I'm just fine on the futures markets, learned them in university many years ago, but learned much more working in the trade. I maintain good relationships with Pioneer, Agricore, Agripro/swp, cargill and p&H staff. Call them all the time, making deals.


I've being buying land for 25 years, and continue to do so. I'm Looking forward to buy yours from under your feet. I'll Send you to the oilfields, it will be the first time you'll actually learn what hard work is, and how to earn a dollar, instead of sledding all winter.


glug glug glug.

[Fransisco]

So how much do you want for that bridge in San Fransisco you're selling Benny?

[TOM4CWB]

Mr. Hin:

What profits a man if he gain the whole world... but looses his own soul...

But for the CWB... all for the CWB Benny?

[Fransisco]

Tom you're giving old Benny boy way to much credit.

For all we know he's sitting on 40 acres of scrub brush in a rusted out grainery with an Internet connection and wondering whether or not it's warm enough to use the outhouse yet.

He's using an anonymous name on an Internet forum for heaven's sake. He could just as easily be the queen of England and there would be no way to verify it.

Take the unverifiable statment for what its worth. Nothing.

[Fransisco]

So now that the CWB is gone, your going to be in the local elevators kissing a##. Not a bad move on your part. As far as sneaking my land out from under me. I figured you sound like that type of farmer who will do anything to kill his neighbor.

[mustardman]

Snappy

Now that Benny is gonna buy you out
are you gonna quit farming?
