O.K. I will tone it down a bit but this b/s needs a bulldozer now before it goes too far.

No ground frost below 2 in - it's very dry here. We can dig 5-8 feet no moisture other than 2-3 in in most areas.
We have some feilds that are still 50% full that were almost flooded by July 30th.

What's common to this list, is that they all want the cheap food policy to continue. They want the wheat board to continue providing low cost grains to their mills, so they can continue eating low cost breads, donuts, and pastas. They don't give a sweet eff about wheat an' barley growers in Western Canada.

Also each one of them has a gravy train job related to the CWB.....
Like every union type job - do as little as possible for maximum benitfits and float through life on someone elses hard work. Everyone involved with this list should have a real good hard look at Greece - Italy ect - The root of the issue is unions that got to strong and people no longer had to work hard to prosper - just ride off everyone else - the CWB!!!

boarderbloke, agreed, in the long term, this decision will increase the price of milling grains. These people are self serving and looking to keep volatility and high prices out their businesses. The cheaper the g****s, the sweeter the wine!

The CWB's program of uniform, high quality low price grain is exactly the recipe for success in the industry. Especially in Quebec and Ontario. Every person associated with that list does not want to pay more for base product for business, or more for food on the table. This has scorned designated area farmers for decades. No matter what happens to the price of board grains after July 31, 2012 I will feel the true freedom that I, as a 3rd generation farmer living in the "designated area" truly deserve. Good Riddance.

We're dry here in my part of RRV,with no subsoil down
a couple of feet, but top so far will dry out as deep as
it was worked this fall. About 4 inches pf snow in 2
events, but warm now and fields black.

[wauchope]

where is APAS on this list?
maybe they know damn well that if they put their names on this list the RM's would pull their funding faster than you can say "Stop the CWB"

Fields dry on top 3" then saturated. Very little snow, hoping for below average snow and dry May. Dry areas can have our snow quota.
