"The Wheat Board Clucks Again."

[parsley]

A farm voice with an educated and knowledgeable vibrato delivering a refreshed page of Canadian Wheat Board economic study is bound to cause a spectacle. It did.

Like clucking chickens, the Wheat Board engaged a full public relations assault on Richard Pedde, an Indian Head, Saskatchewan farmer and former derivatives trader, to refute the study Pedde and Sylvain Charlebois collaborated on, an economic study with the purpose of reforming the CWB so that the Wheat Board would deliver transparency, accountability and good governance. Such an extreme vision, isn't it (tic)? Sigh<a href=”http://www.parsleysnotebook.blogspot.com/”target=”blank”> Click Here to Visit Parsley’s Notebook Blog to Read More. </a

I thought joedales set up a blog site for you so that you would stop cluttering this site with your trash and wasted bandwidth for those with slow dialup service?

I guess no one is visiting your nutty blog.

Earth calling Parsley.. do you copy...dassiaitnemed.

Who did R. Pedde work for in NYC? Are they still in business? How many of his NYC collegues jumped out of their high-rise buildings following the financial crisis that THEY caused.

Now he blames the CWB?

Parsley:

As you stated, Pedde traded "derivatives". Well derivatives are what caused the financial meltdown in the US and abroad. These products were nothing more than pyramid schemes.

Is this what the grain industry needs?

Geez, with the likes of Richard Pedde and Gerry Ritz (former Pyramid scheme vitim - Ostrich Farmer) influencing western Canadian Ag Policy, we are all in big trouble!

I wonder what a breeding pair cost him?

ABH AMRO ,which he sued for improper dismissal.

Grain bug, what is a vitim?

It's not surprising the way you are prepared to shred a fellow farmer apart for writing a report on the CWB. It's such a closed-mind 'hold the fort' attitude. So small.

The guy had a job in his former life. So what? Didn't you? Criticize his report, not him, or who his past employer was. Next you'll be claining his kids play banjoes. Scheechz.

Earth Calling GrainBeetle;

Do you own this thread?

If you don't like Parsleys posts... just don't respond... and the site capacity will not be used on your posts complaining about her postings.

But I know.. that is not why you are really complaining... it is obvious why you do this... intimidation... and all the other favorite CWB tactics to get us to be quiet about the huge mess the 'single desk' has made of marketing our board grains.

Once again... in the month of November 2008... CWB prices for Spring wheat are close to $100/tCDN below US farm gate prices just south of the 49th.

The CWB has failed... you know it... and that is why you attack the author instead of the study.

Here's what Pedde and his compatriot calculated:

Daily Price Contract for 2005-2007: cCompared to U.S.,CWB performance for an average farmer, delivering approx 700 tonnes/yr to the Board would rack up a loss of $18,000 per year.

Nice bit of cash? Pars

[TOM4CWB]

Parsley,

Every one who is stuck with these foolish PPO's knows the FPC/BPC are $30-40/t lower priced than the DPC.

PLUS... we are supposed to get a PREMIUM over DNS... in the first place!

Grainbeetle... the CWB has a massive problem here... why on earth would you defend the failure of this system?

[agstar77]

Pedde's compatriot also said the CWB critique was valid . His concern was the transparency of their operation.
