Will not the following CWB announcement.
Qutoe "Growers of malting barley in all parts of Western Canada will have access to the CWB's protein premium program during the coming crop year thanks to a total of 21 companies signing on as participants for 2007-08. The program rewards farmers who produce the lower-protein barley that the malting industry requires. Premiums range from $1 for protein levels of 12.5 per cent to $5 for 11 per cent and under. For more information, visit www.cwb.ca ."
Is this an indication the CWB will stay in barley even if goes open market?
The only other program I have heard mentioned over time is premiums for plumbness. Not sure where CWB is at on shorter pooling periods or multiple pools. Could also offer a daily price contract similar to wheat. Good programs will have merit in both status quo and open market.
