CWB Elections

[Burbert]

Is anybody votin, er are ya'll chukin yer ballots? Comedian farmers deserve to be ruled by those they vote fer. Er at least partly ruled by those the vote fer, cause the Feds still appoint their cronies to the board, sos they kin control it. Guess thats why we's called Comedian farmers...........

Burbert,

Speaking of 'Comedian farmers'... many who should have a vote... can not vote....

Sooo why exactly are we voting on what you MUSt do with your grain?

Comedian farmers... in the 'designated area'... tell you neighbour how to sell their grain... a favourite past time...

Why have we heard no outrage from grain farmers in Russia and Ukraine... when their farmers just lost the opportunity to sell their grain at international prices but required to subsidise their domestic market???

Funny how the US market pays a domestic premium... and the system still works!!!

Burbert -

Why do you even bother to post. Your wording and "try to be funny" little jabs like "comedian farmer" do nothing to support your lame backwoods arguements.

Ballots should be weighted on contracted CWB tonnes. Then the "real" farmers would have their true say and you and your fellow "comedian farmers" would have to wake up to real world marketing.

Perhaps the important message is to vote. Apathy is not acceptable. Not voting is a vote for the candidate on the exact oppossite opinion from yourself (be it single or market choice).

You put your own number in but a farmer that raises 1,000 acres of wheat and an average price of $250/tonne means a gross review of $250,000 on your farm. I would want some capable of providing strategic direction and good monitoring of an organizations performance if I had this kind of money on the line in world of only one buyer albeit one that claims to look after my interest.

You are right, charliep. Had some calls asking about who to vote for, who stood for what, who would do a good job.

Vote. At the very least, it will be reported that Western farmers were aware there was a CWB election. Pars

[SASKFARMER3]

Charlie i disagree, the only vote that matters is whether the board continues stealing property. As a board member you can't "do harm" to a corporation.
