It Might be worse with no CWB, like you say I won't go that far to say that.

But I think that as long as there is a CWB they will be blamed for the price of grain. Hense dual market will not satisfy or work. Not saying right or wrong JMHO.

She's really pretty simple folks. The wheat board's only imperative is to make the crop go away. Any returns to the growers are a bonus. The team in charge have no investment in the grain business, nothing to gain from excellence, nothing to lose from negligence. Its a structural thing. Me thinks that the wolves find a couple dozen CWB sheep easier fleecing than a couple thousand growers would be. Are they in on the fix? HT

wmoebis,

AWB #1 DURUM Pt Adel, Aug 6/10 $339/t up $29/t

AWB Malt Bly, Pt Adel, Aug 6/10 $298/t up $28/t

Looks like 'dual marketing' works in AU!

Well in western CANADA

If you are a board supporter you would say "It would be higher but, the non boarders are dumping at cheaper prices keeping the price down".

If you are a duel market supporter you would say " It would be higher but, the CWB are dumping at cheaper prices keeping the price down".

By the way, thanks for the AWB price info. Could you post the same day prices offered by the independents so we could compare?
