No drifts here... it's melting. Have a layer of ice on anything steel though.

Wind is blowing at 75km/hr

Like I said to my girlie... great day to stay inside, and cuddle up under a blanket with a cup of hot coco. :-D

**cottonpicken** · Oct 27, 2010, 12:58

80kph,was not bad at 6 oclock,but what a farmer and
battery opperator consider bad might me different
than the general public.

Have you read this website?

Have you done your due diligence?

The only way you can effectively debate AND persuade, is to arm yourselves with facts.

Yes, facts.

This blog is full of facts and information.

Take the information to your local ag group, or alternately form one at your kitchen table, and then make an appointement with the B of Directors to propose what you want changed.

I hear your constant bitching.

Now, get off your lazy asses and arm yourselves with information. Pars

The board won't answer the call. But that's because I expect them, after this durum fiasco, to start firing incompetent people. We are currently paying demurrage but the price is 1.80 for durum. The cwb is technically blowing our money away to shipowners. Probably Paul Martin's csl boats to boot.

But how will we know? It's a secret. The cwb has known for close to 4 months they needed durum and that the only 1 and 2AD they had was sitting in bins. It wasn't in the field the spring was too late. So now they blame the farmer for not delivering and the government for not paying.

It is incompetence at its finest. And a few months ago they were issuing letter of "liquidated damages" for over delivery all the while needing the durum. And now wonder why they don't have the 1 & 2AD farmers support.

Assemble the stats: number of staff numbers who are supposed to do your marketing

Divide it by your profits

Present the numbers to the B of D

Twenty farmers, all armed with facts, demanding them to fire 20% of the staff is a beginning, isn't it. Pars

How about firing fifty percent of the lazy asses that couldn't market fifty percent of the best quality durum crop produced in over a decade and then pay demurrage on it once they do actually sell some of it.

**parsley** · Oct 27, 2010, 14:44

Rather, stay with the 290% less staff, but instead 30% reduction in Board of Directors' salaries.

They'll notice.

One way to get their attention and remember why they are there.

They set the tone at the CWB.

Appointed and elected $%^*%'s

Gasp.

I'm swearing, Pars
