    If he wins - will he be willing to let all farmers have the same buybacks as he gets?

    I like fairness and equality for all, not "do as I say, not as I do" attitude.

    Stewie has a pretty sweet deal with the cwb, good buybacks, paid for being a mouthpiece for friends of the cwb,etc.

    If he had any clout at all the things he rallies for would be solved by now. Such as freight rates, outrageous elevation charges etc.

    He is going in there for a paycheck and taking care of his interests only. Self serving.

      Yes, I admit it I'm a "radical". I think a farmer should be able to sell his wheat and barley to whomever they want and not be forced to sell it to the government. Scary stuff, I know.

        you idiots still don't get it. When the majority of western producers don't want the CWB anymore it will go away.

            Stubble, And when are we actually going to be allowed to vote? It is not by directors as it is your sworn duty as a director to uphold and protect the corporation. A big smokescreen to think voting for 'choice' directors will ever mean anything.

            When will i be able to vote to either keep or end the CWB?

                No you don't get it. This farmer voting business is a smoke screen and it always has been.

                  Church, Stubble et al,

                  Farmers like me, and I assume you, are independent business owners and operators. Each of us with individual needs, goals, and family circumstances.

                  What I'd like to understand is this. Do you think that you should have a say in how my farm operation runs? Or put it this way; should I be able to dictate how you run your business?

                  If I want to buy inputs from an independent dealer, and you wish to purchase from a multinational, is there something wrong with that? Should we each be mindful of the other's preferences yet force each other to operate against our better judegment or individual objectives? Should we all vote on where our inputs are to be purchased, and all be compelled to act accordingly?

                    How is any farmer independent when we have to grow certified GM crops at rip-off prices?

                    Get over the freedom ideology because you are anything but free.

                      Give your head a shake you are free to grow what ever you want.

                      You want to talk about ideology? The kookiest one is the blind notion that government can do everything better after it has been proven time and again that it just makes things worse.
