CWB Producer Survey Has Been Released

[silverback]

They should "cater" to only those that truly find value in their service and wish to voluntarily deal with them. Everyone else should be free to do what they want.

Apparently the eastern prairies don't necessarily agree.

I can imagine 'you know who' making this argument as well:

"This is something that should be explored further. Is this telling me that real women, who rely primarily on their husbands, support the the status quo and those militant women constantly wanting a vote, or women who actually think they work on the farm, who only live on the farm, while complaining they have multiple other tasks, like making meals for threshers, milking cows, feeding sucking claves, raising chickens, etc but who do not rely soley on real farming grain income, are really the only ones who support getting a vote? "

How many times do the ultra-stupid have to be told:

"YOU DON"T VOTE ON, OR DO A STUDY ON, OR DRAW STRAWS ON, WHETHER OR NOT FARMERS HAVE A RIGHT TO SELL WHAT THEY GROW.

Period

"really amazing graph is the suppoort of the CWB based on % of farm receipts"

Not to sure about this one either. But lets remember it's a phone survey, I don't see too many guys saying wait a minute while I tally up last years numbers to see, the thing takes way to long to do as it is. There's also no way to verify if it's accurate or not.

the only real evidence from another cwb survey is that the people that were contacted,or board supporters, continue to lack basic math skills,can't add and subtract.I find it odd that in the same week cwb survey results are released chairman hill is re elected as board chair,and his comment is "one of our top priority items is to do a better job of demonstrating the value of the board to producers".Based on cwb survey results,I thought the cwb propaganda machine was well financed and in good woking order,guess I was wrong.

Lol Pars.
30% surveyed farmed over 640 acres
34% farmed 640 to 2500 acres
36% over 2500 acres

Of those groups who is reliant on the wheat & barley income on that farm for income? And of those groups which is more likely to have a son or daughter who will take over the farm.

HOwever I am sure the survey was intended to assist the board of directors and the Minister in future decision making so that western Canadian farmers will get the best returns from the market place and remain competitive in the global market.

Uh Huh Uh Huh Uh Huh

30% UNDER 640 acres.
