Ianben,
The whole purpose of an organisation like the CWB should be that they work for the farmers who want it's services.
The problem is that the CWB is fighting the farmers who are the long term viable productive progressive grain producers.
If I didn't care about my marketing, then I would be a hero in the CWB's mind essentially.
Really, this means that those farmers who are leaving farming in 5-10 years are the ones most likely to be blind wheat board lovers.
As we shift into the next generation of Farmers, the CWB must be prepaired to be non-biased, and if needed cash buy wheat every day of the year.
Cash flows require these options when costs are so close to revenues and payments for equipment and land have to be secured.
In 10 years the farmer who owns everything free and clear will be the exception instead of the rule, especially in the next generation of farmers.
The CWB must, I say again must facilitate and provide for the needs of cash flow for the next generation, as smaller margins mean even more careful use of our financial resources is required.
If the CWB gets a handle on this, then we will go a very long distance to regenerating and updating this institution!
