      Hedehog--- The CWB was started as a voluntary entity in 1935. It was made compulsory during the war but only in western Canada( northern British Columbia, Alberta,Saskatchewan and Manitoba). The compulsory part was used to insure a constant wheat supply for the war effort.Because of wheat deals signed with the British Isles during the war, the compulsory part is still in effect today.No federal government has the fortitude to free us from this slavery.

          The hog barns around here lower feed prices as cwb pro lowers. You would not believe how much #1 durum is feed to pigs. Guess the wheat board should add them to their good customer list.

                Katoe,

                I see the market at well over $300/t in the PNW for many of the forward months to Jan11.

                For you to say we should be happy with $5.50... when we should be over $1/bu higher...

                Where are the $7/bu CWB wheat contracts for 2011 that should be avaliable? US advisors are on to this opportunity... where is the CWB?

                  Do you guys want me to continue posting prices on here or is only going to inflamme your anger.

                  But on the face of it and if you will excuse the french your prices are effing shithouse atm.

                  Will also try and get a handle on outcome of our pooled wheat prices from last harvest and yes i pooled alittle premium hard 13% plus wheat maybe 120 tonne will try to track it for you if you interested.

                    Did anyone else lock in fpc on friday?
                    Again not a word from the pro borg camp when hard facts come out - pathetic.
                    This has to be the last straw guys, I mean come on the last pro's are nothing short of treason.

                      Yup, it's simply amazing. Western wheat farms leave 10's of thousand dollars or more from their farm under the table simply because the lowest price is the law. That in it's self is not that surprising or amazing. Its understandable that the present cwb board of directors would allow this crime to continue. They know better but,just can't help themselves What is amazing as Agriweek so accurately points out is that Harper, Ritz and their band of merry-men allow this crime to continue to be perpetrated, all while the voices that should be the loudest are silent.......
