CWB Market Outlook

[agriman]

Is anyone subscribing to the CWB's weekly market report? Is it worth $30 a week?

Agriman,

Agriville should charge the CWB $300/wk to access our CM on Agriville!!!

Their outlook subscription initiative just shows how they continue to be completely out of touch with the world, or their ego has still not subsided. Probably both.
First, their pricing is way out of proportion to what they are offering. For example, I subscribe to a US based market outlook (Farm Direction Report) which is a twice daily email update, PLUS a recorded update at noon each day on a 1-800 number. So instead of once a week, I get 3 times a day for $400. So 15 times the frequency for 2/3 the price!! I will add that this service is VERY good, and is very useful even though obviously more geared to US farmers than Canadian. But given the interconnectedness of markets, the info is still very valuable.
Secondly, I get a real strong feeling talking to to CWB employees, their ego and arrogance is still front and centre. But what can you expect? Same faces there as last year and 5 years ago and.....
Not that it matters anymore to me (lots of options out there now) but I would have thought some new blood would have energized the place.

Yes the CWB is now a toofless Tiger and will jump through Ritzes hoops and will always be one step behind the rest of the pack...it is not meant to be a leader at the trough.
