CWB Ships are none of your buisness- Mb Cooperator

[TOM4CWB]

Say BTO,

I was just thinking, CWB thoughts!

No more TalkingEskimo here!

Perhaps we should cross haul all our wheat to the east coast... then ship it back through Thunder Bay and then our ships could make record time... be loaded with our wheat both ways... we can use our rail hopper fleet to Thunder Bay... Laker to Montreal of Quebec City... and then direct return to Thunderbay... and fill our own hopper car fleet to Prince Rupert... as it is the closest route to Japan/China!

Just think of all the extra efficiencies and huge profits that could be shared with everyone... in the 'other revenue' earnings of the CWB

Eureka!

Like money in the Bank! How foolish of me to question your logic BTO!

Perhaps you and the CWB can buy $100,000,000.00 more of Computers and software... to look after all these extra transportation churning revenue and profits... our GDP could be increased exponentially!

Perhaps we could ACTUALLY be the biggest wheat/barley marketer in the world... if we would only sell each tonne we produce... back to ourselves... at least 10 times each and every year!!!!

Actually tom, the cwb engages in that practice when they ship grain to churchill and then find out they can't move it for an extended period of time. So they rail it back to vancouver.

A perfect example of paying certain farmers a premium (the churchill program) and then when extra costs are incurred everyone pays. Make the churchill program farmer pay the cost of shipping grain from churchill to vancouver.

Then the program might be re-evaluated.
