Strahl to Resign?

[wilagro]

Wilagro, check the markets this morning(if you know how to find them on your computer) look at what this ruling has done to your pocket book. 9:14 am barley currently locked limit down!!!!!

Just heard Ken Ritter on the news stating that the new PRO's will have suffered from missing sales!!

Not even 24 hrs after the ruling, and the bastards are already making excuses why they won't pay us!!

Boys time to matters into our own hands!! Lets line up the Border with trucks!!!!

There is no question that farmers want change. What kind of change is a little more difficult question. This court case had nothing to do with whether farmers wanted change or not.

It was decided that the government misinterpreted the law.

"So Run the changes THROUGH parliament and get them passed. What is the problem? If the changes make sense then they will pass in parliament."

The problem is that it does not have to make sense to pass parliament. It seems to have to serve the needs of the individual parties.

You are correct to say the changes need to run through parliament. Should they have that debate on whether farmers should have more freedom within our free country before or after the debate on fighting for freedom for people in Afghanistan.

Snappy,

No reason for Chairman Ritter to talk of missed sales reducing the value of the pools in a market that has been constantly rising. Canada may have some of the only exportable malting barley in the world this year. Given last year's sad performance, keeping the CWB out of the barley market may have been the best thing that could have happened to the barley pools!

Strahl has been the best ag minister we have seen in years. I getting tired of sucky farmers standing up supporting the CWB. They are the same ones that want to protest that prices are low . When we find out that the CWB has kept the Barley prices artifically low, They stick thier heads in the sand and take it in the ***. Ritter should be the one Fired.

Barley Guy but they have not been out of selling, because they believed they needed 60 million to make farmers deliver. In other words 60 million below market, or 60 million below feed barley take your pick.
Perhaps what is happening here is that the market is feeling that no one is going to deliver to the board or that much less will be delivered to the board into export markets and that is pushing feed values down.

For anyone reading this post, I did not post that Chuck Strahl should resign, Bennyhin did, they removed his post, and I was next in line. Furthermore I think Strahl is the best Ag minister we've had yet!!

At least he's trying to make it a fair ballgame, remind me again why Ontario doesn't have to put up with this bullshit!!

[tower]

well one reason would be that farmers in ontario have a lot more market and are content with their existing system. It is and should be federal policy to keep some farmers on the land in western Canada, more than exist today would be better for the future.

With that in mind consider how the markets would dry up (consolidate)north of Calgary if the Board wasn't available to help.

Tower,

You miss the fact Biofuels change the whole conventional grain system, as does effective value chain production.

The Peace River Region voted in a market choice Director in the last CWB Election, again proves the theory northern grain production is land locked is a myth.

More rain, higher production, and good infrastructure that competes for this grain could make these northern farms some of the most profitable in Canada if these folks are allowed to capitalise on their natural advantages and marketing skills!
