what can be done to improve the CWB???

[Ron]

Hm, I can finally see how you can double
post by accident. (That wasn't me making
a statement)

Free wheat. By growing non board crops we are showing no one. The board does
not give a shit if you grow board grains. They only get a premium on 6 million
tonnes of wheat. The other 70% they fire sell. They don't need more wheat to sell,
it is just more work for them they all get paid the same whether you grow it or
not. With more and more farmers growing other crops, because of cash flow and
principle, we are now hurting the non board grains by flooding markets with more
volumes.
Jag you are the only board supporter who has a constructive voice on this blog
thanks .
With all their personal agendas the pro board directors are the most unfit group of
farmer directors I've ever seen. This group does not have the ability to give
management direction therefore they cannot be transparent and won't shorten
pools. So the chance for change is not going to happen until the board implodes!

[mustardman]

SCRAP all the programs and have Only pooling ( maybe with shorter pooling periods )

I grow 6 other crops that are open market so I do not mind that my Durum is thru the board.

The CWB came UP with all these alternatives to Pooling to try and satisfy the anti board fellows.

NEWSFLASH They wouldn't be satisfied if you left a gold bar on their door step Every morning, So SCRAP all the options and Have only the pool

[Ron]

Mustardman, then stop growing the other 6
options.

[mustardman]

Crop rotation Ron

[Ron]

Thats the only reason I grow board
grains yet CWB-supporters tell me if I
don't want to sell to the board to just
avoid those crops?

Doesn't make sense to me.

You stick to fallow/wheat and I will
grow what I want.

Deal?

END THE CWB....NOW

[mustardman]

Actually Ron you have more Choices than I do. You can eliminate your CWB cereal and grow Non board cereals or Canary seed.

For me to eliminate my 6 open market crops I would have to replace them with a non open market Pulse or Oilseed. And there are NONE

So you See Ron you have Alot of Choice

[gregpet]

To explain it clearly for you mustard, there is only one place to sell board grains, no choice. Open market lots of choices. Do you understand this?

Really ridiculous Jag. You and I are in prime growing areas for durum wheat. Only difference you are from the famed red square district as I like to call it. This whole thread boils down to the same old thing. Some board supporters trying to get non supporters to give in to their inequities with regards to their business skill. I find it laughable that you would comment on succesful farmers that grow durum/wheat. Tell me this Jag. Do you even know ONE young farmer who started his business ground up and is becoming ever increasingly succesful as a result of the CWB??? I DONT.. The succesful farmers you so talk about are the same ones who inherited a bundle and the wheatboard provides just enough to sustain the wealth. It also allows that exact same group to defend their wealth against others who A: work harder B: work smarter and C: attempt to build a business without dads checkbook. Socialism is deeply entrenched in your corner Jag, I think you need to at least admit that.

Now here is the real difference between board and non board supporters. FEAR. The entire group of board supporters are a FEAR based group.

A: SCARED they cant market because they dont know how

B: they are SCARED about receiving less than their neighbor

C: SCARED of the big bad grain companies who already are becoming increasingly profitable at our expense through the handling of board grains.

D: and finally seeing as most of the support comes from the 60 plus club, they are SCARED it might cramp their winter in Phoenix lifestyle. (straight from my dear old dad who is laying in the sun currently)

I am tired of supporting the lifestyle of the "inherited wealthy", and socialist monopolists. There is not anyway you can improve the board other than issuing "FREE" export licences. I simply do not understand the suporters who feel it is their right to use my grain to their advantage. I chuckle everytime I see a thread like this. Its like if you keep asking, I will change my mind eventually, feel sorry for you and give in to your weaknesses. NEWSFLASH.. It will NEVER happen. I am not afraid Jag, what say you??

[mustardman]

"to explain it clearly for you gregpet" don't grow board cereals. Problem solved
