    #1 - Pars, are you having a runaway with that Hutterite
    wine?
    #2 - It would seem to me that Govt loan guarantees
    are much more significant to the producers bottom
    line than to the new (however it turns out) CWB. I
    would accept that as a win-win.

      I have trouble with whine.

      What does #2 mean to you?

        Pars, #2 means to me that you can forward sales
        into markets that might not otherwise be available
        to you. To me, a buck in the pocket is more
        freedom than a pile stored and unsold on the
        ground. Oh btw, I'm not whining, just a natural born
        opportunist. Sooo, when I think about it, in the
        brave new world will organic product still have a
        niche or will price trump product?
        You're a dreamer and quit the boob talk unless you
        really have something to brag about!
        And to prove I'm not politically correct - here's one
        for you. I was watching the weather tonight and the
        weather girl said that with this cold moist front
        moving in tonight I'm expecting 8 inches. And I
        thought - with a face like that 'dream on'.

          I was referring to my whining, not yours.

          And well,I admit freewheat's comment begged a
          segue into unusual territory that I should have
          resisted; but I truly was curious.

          As for the sustainability of organics, they'll
          probably forge into farm-identified food, with
          growthy demand. A premium IP market.

            Hey freewheat, if you put on some extra pounds
            maybey you will grow your own?

              That's a good approach Pars. There is actually a broker
              in Alberta now who will accept investment dollars from
              consumers and in return provide guaranteed product
              to spec from farms within the program. I missed the
              undercurrent of you being the whiner, what will you do
              after Aug 1, 2012? Grow old and lumpy?

                  rockpile: Damn you...I'm still laughing about your story of the weather girl.

                  Now I have to phone my neighbour up the road and relate the story to him.

                  Cheers!

                    Hi Willi, here's a couple more for you:
                    The other day I took a biology test and the question
                    was "What two things are most commonly found in
                    cells?' Apparently Blacks and Mexicans were the wrong
                    answer.
                    And then they asked "where do you find women with
                    the curliest hair?" The correct answer was Fiji - hell, I
                    didn't know they were asking about countries!!
                    Keep your cheery side up.
