Maybe listen to the Aussies

[mustardman]

Go on combine forum and listen to the aussies opinion of life after the AWB. They wish things were back like they were before.

[JDGreen]

you have a link mustard?? Apparently I have been reading a different combine forum than you have. Perhaps I've missed something.

[JDGreen]

perhaps you can tell this Onario producer how bad things will be without the board mustard. Seems his opinion is that things are much better now with more options. And go figure... Wheat acres are up in Ontario according to him.

Boy you don't suppose they have a few socialist commies who think life is best if their neighbors never get paid for working harder than them do ya? I am sure we don't have any of those up here either.

Sorry don't know how to link

[mustardman]

silverback every aussie reply has same message -keep your marketing board-

maybe the ones in favour of their new system don't know how to use a computer

[Happytrails]

Is there an irony here?

The Harper Government will shut that thread down.

Can't have facts in this debate.

Mustard,

Perhaps IF we had a marketing board system as Supply management has in Canada... with RESTRICTED imports... and a real market that is captive to them... it would be a thought. Even Dairy has to be market driven... as substitution of food products drops demand... so they either drop prices or lower production. Like dump milk down the drain.

The only control the CWB has... IS over us growers. NOT CONSUMERS of flour or wheat. Mills and Bakeries can and do import wheat to subsitute for our produce... if the CWB price is not right. The threat of arbitrage is all that is needed... and the CWB by formula makes sure domestic consumers get a 'competitive purchase price. NOT a PREMIUM price.

You need to do your homework Mustard... the CWB is NOT at all like SM5.

hey mustard had a read.
i honestly believe if a vote was taken to return to the single it would be 20% in favour 75% against and 5% unsure

maybe one thing it has higher highs and lower lows price wise in a deregulated market.

is that good or bad hmmm its all perception i guess

maybe you guys should start of slow you either sign up with cwb or you dont, a dual market option and test the water for a few years rather than run with eyes wide shut.
