CWB to manage "Price risk" outside the pool?

[Herbdoctor]

Say a Grain Company was costing you money...do you have any means of telling them how they should take a little less profit from you? no you don't...You happen to own the CWB just as much as any other farmer and at least through a vote on an issue a change may take place. Your sitting there right now with the power to right some of the wrongs yet the only answer you come up with is to end it all together and try to deal with the next hand in your pocket...you take you battle to the CWB because they sign your checks doesnt mean they are responsible for the lower prices... if you can remove your tunnel vision for a while and take into consideration the outside factors that affect the price of your grain you may see a dim light...but only you have the power to make it brighter... and of course everybody and theyre dog wants to make it seem like a good idea at the moment because Barley isnt really the big issue here its wheat and durum they want to get their hands on that power because the CWB is really the last thing standing in their way

Herbdoctor,

Wrong again.

The CWB works for the very grain co's you are so afraid of... whether they/you realise it on not.

The CWB has close to no market power in the new integrated closed chain systems.

The manipulation of the CWB is much easier... because the CWB sales dept. has no cost of sales like most growers have and must recover.

The CWB pool covers more than just a bad decision day... it covers a whole year of bad decisions. Grain growers can recover from a few decisions that are substandard... but they are soon history if they don't learn quickly. BROKE and BANKRUPT.

THe CWB can sell 100,000t in a second. Ever heard of easy come easy go?
Certainly it's not a good way to extract a premium. Malt Barley...Brazil... DURUM Discounts... even proof with a full DPC 07=08 in less than a week. THis should be proof enough for anyone that actually cares and is concerned for the next generation of grain growers in the "Designated Area".
