Prairiesodbuster... you missed the point... Freedom IS NOT about $!

"He said he didn't know, but he could say that the CWB is a major player on the MGEX."

Your sentence represents failed directors. They should have passed a Board motion years ago to order the staff to supply this kind of information on the webpage farmers pay for, including the cost and mandate of the Board's weasel who sits on the MGEX and represents the CWB.

This lack of transparency reflects the lack of ability of the Directors to provide both leadership and accountability. Pars

The government has been expanding and cotrolling more and more everyday,dont expect anything to change.

and if anyone thinks that is a good idea-you are the wack job

[PrairieSodBuster]

I didn't miss the point, just reading over the post just highlights the point I was making...it's the whack jobs on both sides of the fence who bitch ad nauseum...cuz it makes them feel good. The sentiments are hollow though and it's always the loud mouths who in the end screw themselves and everyone else. You want something better then stop belly aching and go do it, use some of that pioneer spirit we are suppose to be famous for.

Oh when I first saw this forum I though oh great a forum where we could share ideas on how to better market our grain (like talking about better varieties, new market opportunities...you know marketing)...but no the whack jobs seize control and it's just another place to bitch and moan.

That's my last word, I look elsewhere for knowledge and one day I will eat your lunch while you are still trying to have things your own way. In chaos there is opportunity!

PSB;

Nice JOB... Attack... condem...

THis forum is about freedom of expression..."Freedom IS NOT about $!".

But you are going to "eat us for lunch"?

Hope you enjoyed swooping in and giving your ego a fun blast!

Bless you...!

I certainly wish that I was as able to express myself as colorfully as the rest of you. Well said Tom!!!!!!!!!

Willagro - You say "There once was a free-wheeling system in place in western Canada. The grain companies that preyed upon the primary producer (the farmer) were famous for being some of the crookedest snakes to ever inhabit this country." I say...over the past 70 years we now have Super B's and not wagons, we have the internet and can see weather, carryover's, etc from all around the world instantly and not radios, we have tens of thousands of bushels of storage versus hundreds of bushels, we grow more than wheat/barley so we have choice on what to sell (whoops..not board grains). Wake up!!!! Times have changed!!!!

[Hopperbin]

Dito Choice Wilagro keeps referring back to a time when everyone just hauled only to the local elevator by wagon. Didn't know that the world price was in he gutter and blame it on the grain companies. Why are the pro board farmers so stuck on that even when now we all have computers and can see that price is determined by supply and demand. The grain companies stealing our grain is an untruth.

Prairiesodbuster; If you want the all of the "loud mouth whack-jobs" to just shut-up already, you should advocate for a voluntary board. That way the Pro-boarders get to keep their beloved bureaucracy, and us anti-boarders can stop wasting space in the Western Producer's comments column. Your problem is solved.

The only downside is that Agri-ville's message board will probably die from lack of postings;-)

[wmoebis]

AV message board may die but the poor me will carry on. It will be the boards fault in some's eyes, that higher market prices can't be reached, as long as they are around.

[Choice2U]

I agree Meobis on your comment "the poor me"...CWB supporters under a voluntary system would no longer have control over every farmer in the designated area and maybe worse...if no CWB, they'd actually have to stand on their own two feet and take a marketing 101 class.
