      You are in a quick turnaround area to make railways and graincos look good.

      Look across the prairies before you start mumbling.

        Agree with Tom4.. No guns to my head.. Durum is a cash crop now and actually pays real bills on time rather than receiving a few schillings here and there like the old days. Couldn't drag me back to the cwb durum marketing system.. This farm lost MILLIONS over the years on durum alone.

          It's been very good for organic farmers, bucket. No buybacks. Add up all the cash sucked into the CWB via buybacks and understand it is now in farmers' pockets. Good for farm communities Pars.

                I don't want the cwb back either but this current system is as great as was claimed.

                  Nobody said there wouldn't be challenges with the elimination of the single desk. We need to give this new marketing environment time to evolve. Having options to sell our durum to American buyers has been very lucrative to say least and it has also motivated some of our local buyers to shit or get off the pot. Don't really care to look back at the past archaic marketing system we rid ourselves of.

                    You stated!
                    The CWB didn't stop one rail line closure... or elevator consolidation.

                    Please explain how this was the responsibility of the CWB. They are private companies with share holders, who vote in Board of Directors to make decisions on behalf of the company. Tell how the CWB has any control over this?

                      Glad you brought That up!

                      All the CWB single desk did... Was take innovative growers grain revenue and redistribute it to those who had no rational reason to get any of it. Railway, Grainco, Miller's, and livestock producers... As well as those with no plans to market what grain they just grew.

                      Cwb had no power to do anything but do the buyback and stop commerce.
                      That they did... With efficiency and mean spirited corruption. I personally have the mental scars which I will carry to my grave.

                      Like being stabbed in the back over and...

                      But I must forgive and forget...

                      So did you do that on purpose Forage?
