Rude anti-boarder

[Braveheart]

notaredneck, so you think anti boarders have the corner on rudeness? I have been threatened to be left bleeding in a parking lot by wheat board lovers. They threatened to burn me out. Is that a little rude or what?

Dual marketing was thought of as a way to accomodate people who liked and wanted the board and yet a way to let those out who wanted out. It was started by anti boarders. The board side just said do what we say or go to jail. Speak Eskimo, be threatened or go to jail. Seems to me just by your posts in this thread it's the pot calling the kettle black, or "special black".

Bucket ask not what the CWB can do for you but ask what you can do for the CWB.
Note we are what say and do.

Bravehart I don't know you personally but maybe you deserved that. I have yet see a board supporter yell or throw a fit at an employee of The Wheat growers or Barley growers if that person didn't stop what they were doing immediately to cater to there questions.

The problem is that a dual market won't work, its one or the other. Without the single desk the board losses its power.

It has been single desk buying for 10 years now and that does not work for the farmers.Have all my 2 and 3 year old durum with flooded roads all around it now. Thank you CWB for your genius durum marketing job.

How is that the wheatboards fault? We've sold all our board grains during the winters without any problems. If I had durum in the bin for 2 years I'd prob grow something else that would move sooner.

They did not accept all I contracted in 08 and then again in 09. 2010 there was no room in elevators and when there was roads went from blocked with snow to flooded.I believe the CWB C to C idea is great. But from my combine to my customer. Do not want to pay someone to do just a horrid job of marketing. But what else do you expect from single desk buying.

Just to level the playing field here I notice more board supporters shouting their lungs out about what is correct so I don't buy this one about the anit boarder. Makes sense really the board supporters have nothing to base themselves on so they shout out loud.

Hey prairiefire.

I have given the cwb lots of ideas - they just never act on them.

One particular idea was to have gdc for durum only instead of implementing them later in the crop year, like they did, I suggested it when they made a call for durum before the last crop year ended.

That's right, in july of 2010 when they made a new crop call for durum before the previous crop year had ended, I phoned the cwb and suggested they handle that call for durum by a GDC and attach a real market price for it. They didn't do it and it cost millions in demurrage. The cwb knew they needed the durum and the crop was late and they had no contracts for new crop durum. The cwb didn't go to GDCs until they had paid millions in demurrage.


It is a matter of record because they record every conversation at the cwb.

Rude anti-boarder, ha!

That's a ****ing surprize.

Hopperbin you make me laugh. I was there, it wasn't something someone told me about. This anti-boarder was three feet from me. You can beleive what you want to, you don't have to base it on facts. You should be use to that by now.
