Barley County AB Barely Commission Sept 2011

[Burbert]

What an enlightening document this
edition was. They the Alberta Barely
Commission, have it ALL WRONG. Each and
every prediction was WRONG. What a
truly great Comedian addition to
everyday life of Albertans. 4 pages a
Conservative campaign bull. Along wit
listing accomplishments fer the past
century or two. None of witch led ta
anything, except stealin prducers
checkoff money cousin they grow barely.
What a truly crap politico machine. The
mighty Alberta Barely Commission,
currently a headless organization,
workin hard each and ever day fer the
Albertie P.C. party collectin funds ta
be used fer the bennefit of all
albertie.

Then ask for it back.

The mandatory deductions should never have been allowed. It was all a result of POLITICS that the ABC was set up in the first place.

Millions of dollars wasted fighting the CWB over the years. I applied for and got every penny of what they deducted from my barley sales.

[FarmRanger]

OK, let me get this straight.
You guys think it's Hunky Dory to freeload off of
other barley growers by asking for your voluntary
checkoff back, but to make it a jail sentence to
sell to anybody except the mandatory single desk
CWB is a paragon of virtue.

I think a karma is about to run over your dogma.

[wilagro]

Who said anything about a "voluntary" deduction" from barley sales?...it was always mandatory.

If ALL of the funds had been used for research, education and promotion, I for one would have been in favour of the deduction. IT WAS NOT.

[wd9]

So did you leave the percentage of funds with ABC that were used for research promotion education?

[wilagro]

wd9: Like I said..."if they had used
ALL OF THE FUNDS for research, education and promotion", I would have agreed to leave the check-off as being legitimate. As soon as I saw that they were DIVERTING the check=off funds for political purposes (which I didn't approve of), I determined that they would get no more of MY money.

[FarmRanger]

So you'd be OK with me selling my wheat and
barley to anyone I please? Because I don't
agree with the CWB spending my money out of
the pools on political causes I disagree with.

Welcome to the world of choice, Wilagro.

[wd9]

Wilagro, so if they don't do exactly what you want to the very last penny you take your money back? Is there a line? Like 80% 50% 100%?
