    Welcome Harvey Brooks to Saskatchewan.

    http://www.producer.com/2014/06/brooks-named-new-general-manager-of-saskatchewan-wheat-development-commission/

    While disappointed that the SWDC couldn't work with Tom Steve. It looks like they found a qualified candidate. I was expecting much stronger NFU ties.

      Why can't you just post the news without your WCWGA slant. Its little wonder why farmers are poorly represented.

      Its actually not news, its been known for at least a month.

          Hahaha. Harvey Brooks. No NFU slant? Hahaha. Gust, I guess you missed all those CWB debates back in the '90s when Harvey worked for the board. Harvey was the only worthy opponent Wheat Grower directors ever debated.

          All jokes aside, Harvey will be very good heading the commission if he is allowed to do his job. Unless the job description is redefined into some quasi wheat board bullshit.

              David.

              I don't pretend to represent anyone other than
              WG members. If I'm interviewed it's either as myself or as representing the WG and I stick to the topic and assigned speaking points.

              Steve's replacement is news that was not public knowledge until the Farm Progress show.

              Putting forward topics with a positive view on our industry is something I think this forum needs more of so I'll continue to do so until I decide different

              Since you seem determined to stifle using an avatar. I'll shine some light. While I have no desire to drink beers together, like in Moose Jaw and Kindersly.

              Maybe if your more widely known you can find someone who will buy your CB farm you can find an industry you enjoy.

                  I posted this to welcome Harvey and to hope everyone gives Harvey a chance.

                  Some farmers are looking for a reason to pull their dollars.

                  It shouldn't be over this staffing position

                      If you want to get personal about my farm be careful. I am not sure you want me describe what I think of you on this forum.

                      So far some have told me I have been too civil.

                          Besides I have no desire to be well known. Don't care. My opinions are put forth not to be claimed, but to be acted on by others.

                          Some value my opinions others don't. Makes no difference to me.

                              I don't remember Moose Jaw and Kindersley, as I look back, was just a rah rah session for an incompetent ag minister who forgot to implement the no brainer part of transparent reporting for the industry that he claims to represent.

                                  I re read your comments. I will comment later about my farm and an industry I enjoy.

                                  FALS. Enough said for now.
