Oberg... IS FISHING!!!

[TOM4CWB]

ExChairman Oberg is out fishing for MORE money to return the 'single desk'.

The Short Line and elevator he owns in Forestburg AB are the reason... they claim that they will be destroyed if the 'single desk'... isn't reinstated.

This is their logic to raise money for a new attack against C18... and stir the CWB 'single desk' pot.

Cheers Mr. Oberg... too bad you wouldn't sink your own money to do your dirty work...

wiltedrosetommie, You to are fishing!
If you think for one split second, that
there are not many Comedian framers who
share Mr. OBERG's concern. The
uncertainty, turmoil, chaos, created by
the cracker in Ottawa, will be viewed by
many chislers and marketeers as chance
to profit and cuddle up and kiss up to
insider fiends in the industry. Good on
you, some people due seem ta look better
with a Brown nose when viewed from a
distance. Butt this ain't over till the
fat lady sings, pal. In this instance,
due process!!!!!!!!!!!!

The crazy 8 have done a great disservice to the prairie farmers by being so negative. If Ogberg is going to lose his business because of the changes maybe he is one that is sucking up the money that I am losing through marketing wheat with the CWB. I hope he is listed with other bankrupties in the canadian gazette

Burbert,

An update on where things are at... I thought might interest some folks on the wheat marketing front.

All legal options ExChair Oberg wants to persue... are open to him and his 7 buddies... due process in a free and democratic country.

Cheers

Tom, are you sure you don't want to retitle this thread, "Oberg ... IS FINISHED!!!"?

Attended one of Alberta Ag's kindgarden level marketing meetings and the CWB Alliance clowns were there. Still beating their sky is falling drum and saying all this marketing stuff is just too complicated for the average leftie. Amen

malta: I guess we could all enroll for the three day marketing course that AB Ag is advertising. $500 for three days which includes lunch. I'd rather spend that kind of money on farm inputs rather than on learning how to gamble on the stock market. I'm sure we would able to outwit those wily grain buyers after that course.

Ahahahahahaaahhhaahahahaha.

Wil, didn't go to the $500 one. Went to the 1 day deal. The only thing I can say is that Alberta Ag extension should probably go the way of the CWB.

Using the futures market has never been an "Us versus Them" thing. Even the beloved single desk CWB offered a fixed price contract that was priced with a basis off of a futures price.

The only difference now is that you'll be able to phone your own broker and make and cancel contracts with a phone call...oh and you'll have a chance for a good basis now, rather than the always tremendously bad basis inherent in the CWB fixed price contract.

If you learn how to use futures properly in a $500 course, it could be the highest return on investment money you've ever spent.

I acknowledge your comments on the ARD
seminars. They are first efforts of both government
(similar activities have occurred in Saskatchewan
and are likely in the planning stages in Manitoba)
and industry. At this point, the objective of the
activity was awareness and to get everyone thinking
about the changes/impacts on their business.
Depending on your view of the world, the change is
not really that big. Many things do not change.

What information needs weren't met at these
seminars? How is the best way to provide this
information?
