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.

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.

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** · Sep 23, 2011, 17:44

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

**wilagro** · Sep 23, 2011, 19:02

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** · Sep 23, 2011, 20:27

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** · Sep 24, 2011, 10:59

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%?
