No response on the comments on spreads so will return to the original posting by highlighting the Alberta government position. I will note the ministers comments on the last "Choice Matters" newsletter.
** Barley Plebiscite Results **
62% of respondents from across the prairies voted for marketing change for barley
Minister Groeneveld's Message on the Barley Plebiscite Results
The results of the federal barley plebiscite are in and they should come as no surprise to anyone who has worked with Alberta's grain and barley producers over the last decade. Alberta's producers have once again voted in favour of innovation. They have voted in favour of competition. They have voted in favour of choice.
With the results in, it's time for the Government of Canada, the Canadian Wheat Board and industry to work together to strengthen the barley marketing system. The Government of Alberta will support the work that needs to be done to make this happen.
We are a province known for our hard work and independence; a province whose reputation was built setting trends and getting ahead of the competition. It is time now for us to apply this spirit to an open barley market. Our options are no longer restrained. It is time to plant our seeds in a field of opportunity.
