    Winter wheat price to bring you down

    Best cash price I could find in southern Manitoba today for winter wheat was $4.20. Today's board prices aren't up yet but yesterdays fixed price contract would have got me $4.45.

    Bottineau Farmers Elevator in North Dakota is offering <b>$5.66</b> Canadian.

    Have I mentioned lately how much I love the wheat board?

    Oh well could be worse.

    At least I didn't grow any durum. The same place is offering $7.31 Canadian.

      Tower can you give us that sermon again about how "Sometimes it's necessary for a society to take a broader and more long term view than an individual is likely to have."

      I'd really like to know how I'm helping my neighbors and 'society' by not taking the extra buck a bushel.

        Thank you for your sacrifice.

        Now kindly deliver your wheat to the board and they definitely will get us all that premium price - eventually - right?

        They will just take a little off for administrative charges.

            you are so closed minded franny.

            If you would have read the study by schmuck, doofus, and goof you would understand that the prices you see are not really there.

              I keep trying to get my mind open to that point but am worried about my brains falling out.

                Lifer and others who are unable to understand, those are the prices, net to the farmer right now. Not 18 bloody months later.

                    Well it's like this, the reason farmers are better off with $1 - $1.5 per bushel LESS for their grain is because, MONEY is at the root of all evil, and the more money you have the more evil you are.

                    You see an individual with money. Like real money. I'm not not talking about just a bit of change in his pocket, I'm talking real money, F-you money, if you will, the kind of money that let's an individual say to those who may try to screw you over, F-you, I don't need you and I want nothing to do with you, that person is dangerous.

                    He's dangerous because he can't be controlled, he may just go out and do whatever he pleases, and that would make others jealous, and envious, because they would think "It's not fair, I don't have that, why should this other person be allowed?".

                    This type of sentiment would cause disharmoney within the community and make society in general an poored place to live.

                    SO, you keep them poor but equal and they become quiet as church mice, and society in general is peaceful and tranquil.

                    That is Loony Left Dogma in a nutshell.

                    So quit bitching, you ungrateful ingrates, and just be happy your allowed to have what little you've been allowed to have.

                    It's what's best.
