Lipstick on a pig.......Poll?

[TOM4CWB]

Blackpowder;

How on earth... did a NFU ORGANIC wheat grower get elected to the CWB Board of Directors?

TO make sure organic growers are given continuing subsidies FROM CWB pools... continue to be given dual marketing choices... Canadian grain handling and environmental efficiencies,

All this talk about the intangible benefits of the CWB is rally annoying.

PLEASE stop talking ESKIMO!!!!

[TOM4CWB]

Black...

AND not just one NFU organic growers got elected... 3!!!

We commercial wheat growers are truly insane... and the CWB knows it!

[TOM4CWB]

at this time in the morning... I can hear laughing... all the way from Winapig... even against the wind!!!

[TOM4CWB]

And each noon... I get the stink... of Boared manure... from the radio... that I paid for the spread on...

It is almost enough to make me swear...

[TOM4CWB]

WHEN pigs laugh... and fly...

1. "given continuing subsidies FROM CWB pools"
For decades, organic farmers contributed to conventional pools, and it came from exhorbitant organic buybacks placed on organic growers. You said nothing. Where were you? As a seed grower, you don't even have to do a buyback. That was a deal negotiated between the CWB and seed growers. How is that working for boarderbloke? You seem very quiet about no buybacks for seedgrowers.

2. "continue to be given dual marketing choices"

As are seed growers. Warburton. Feed mills. All backroom deals.

Organic growers actually fought hard to obtain no buybacks for either conventional or organics. Ancient grain exemptions are for BOTH organic and conventional.

Organcis fought on principle?.

What's yours?

Black I've been at this farming game for a long time. 30 years ago the Tom's and Parsleys of this world whined, bitched and complained that things weren't fair. they will still be whining bitching and complaining in anouther 30 years because they will still be the minority.

Stubble you do yourself and all CWB supporters a huge disfavor with that attitude. I would assume you have seen the cwb's own surveys. Vast majority want barley taken off and as for wheat, farmers under forty want choice. Never mind that 70% of the production in grown by choice proponents. Those number are a huge concern for the board. You can stick your head in the sand but elections are every 2 years and the older "hobby" farmers/landlords are dying.Add in future rule changes to elections and maybe in the best interests if the board you should push for change so the board can survive. As is the cWB is dead man walking though wouldn't argue it might take another 3 or 4 elections. 30 years? No way

Stubble believes that votes being sent to "the estate of ________" is a revelavent vote.

In my books estates shouldn't have votes.

Did you see the turmoil that came to the Arab world? Did you see the Russian drought, the water problems for the Australian and Canadian crops, and what this would do to markets? Apparently, you believe you have this knack when it comes to the future of the CWB.

Unfortunately for you, you nor anyone knows what will happen beyond this minute's present comfort zone in which your farm exist under your beloved CWB. Don't be so smug that you will continue to enjoy your perceived advantage, long term.

But, please enjoy the moment, as worry lines could occupy the face of your future, and the applied CWB cosmetics you have relied on will not be there to pretty you up.
