CWB has $600,000 of my MONEY? How are they working for you?

[stubblejumper]

only 14% of farmers wanted no CWB

[SASKFARMER3]

Well stubble then you like to donate thousands of dollars to keep the CWB running even if it costs your farm.
Yes last time only 14% voted for complete removal of the CWB with the latest Grain Robbery happening this year do you honestly believe that number will not be way higher next time their is a vote.
LET US OUT!

SJ, go here for a lesson on what can happen if you only hear what you want to hear.

Saskboy, If I were you, I wouldn't whine, cry, and brag so much about being soooo rich, cause the tax man is gonna git chaa. But then again, I guess they and the CWB are both conspiring to keep us framers poor. Maybe a move South to the u.s.a. is in order for you and yours. They love loudmouths and competition dare!

Didn't you want us to price our wheat in the US (your home country) 2 months ago when the US spot was $1.50 lower than today? What will it be in May?

RDNK Rnt U?

Stubblejumper:

The issue isn't the CWB - it's the single desk.

A mere 62% wanted to do away with the single desk. (I think even more would vote that way now.)

That means only 38% want to keep the single desk.

Oh what the hell - let's get another argument going:

If there is ever another plebiscite, I think the question should be:

Do you want to keep the Single Desk:
Yes ________
or
No ________

Pretty simple.

[AdamSmith]

Stubblejumper, I see you like to argue percentages,

here's some interesting stats from the 2006 Farm Census

http://www.statcan.ca/english/agcensus2006/articles/finpic.htm

Among the farms reporting $250,000 and over in receipts, a group that has been growing for a number of censuses, the story is also positive. This group (which includes the million-dollar farms) accounts for only 17.0% of all farms but 74.9% of total receipts.

Table 3
Proportion of farms by receipts class by farm type, Canada, 2006 Farm type Number of farms Less than $25,000 $25,000 to $99,999 $100,000 to $249,999 $250,000 to $999,999 $1 million and over Total

Field crops 91,277 35.3% 28.9% 19.8% 14.5% 1.5% 100%

Notice the correlation between the % of farmers who want the cwb gone altogether and the % of farmers with sales of $250,000 or more.

14% vs 16%. These guys make up 75% of all crop sales.

Now add in the over $100,000 sales guys (thats a farm size of maybe 600 acres only) this brings the total to 36%.

By the way the MB gov't (NDP) had a provincial plebicite last fall with only the lefts preffered 2 choices and it's no coincidence that 36% of MB farmers wanted the cwwb gone altogether. And MB has the highest level of cwb support among farmers between the three prairie provinces.

Interesting huh!

[SASKFARMER3]

Grain Betty you must be Burp farts son, because you make no sense at all.
I am just trying to show you guys who think the CWB is so good that they are taking over 1.50 or more out of your farms bottom line every single year. And simpletons like you and burp-fart and win win think its OK.
GOD HELP US!
Grade 10 dropouts are coming back to haunt us.

[SASKFARMER3]

Also what will it be in may you wounder. If the CWB was gone we would be able to contract some of our production at over $8.00 a Bushel just like ND Montana and Oh maybe Ontario.
And yes it has gone up since last month but if a farmer had another option besides the CWB they could plan all their sales. I like peas off Combine then Barley and Oats Finally Canola and Then CWB crops to round out my Crop year.

[just_wondering]

Adam smith what number would you propose be the cutoff IF we are forced into another plebiscite?
We have to be reasonable, knowing that they(conservative Govt) will not disenfranchise to many landlords and retired farmers.
Would 160 tonnes over 3 years be enough to clean up the voters list, or do we need it to be 500 tn, 1000?
I would say that the whole plebiscite process is BS but since it's in the act and since the Cons don't have a majority this is the route they will prod us along .
I'll go with a yes or no question when they give only real farmers the vote.
Imagine at the bottom of all the CWB propaganda.

Controlled by REAL western Canadian farmers, WHO CHOOSE TO BELONG the CWB is the largest GRAIN CO-OP in the world. One of Canada's biggest exporters, the Winnipeg-based organization sells grain to ALL countries and returns all sales revenue, less marketing costs to THOSE SAME FARMERS WHO WE ARE IN PARTNERS WITH
