Yes but try to take your designated area grain there and sell it to them. They won't buy from you because they are afraid of repercussions from the CWB.

Don't forget to compare what your net return would be when you calculate in the transport cost to get to that particular cash market in Ont.

Tom: the railroads are screwing us to. They got a captive export business of grain because the CWB will not allow an open domestic or export market. Agricultural related industry will not establish in Western Canada because of the very exsistance of CWB policies. Saskatchwan might not be the unpopulated area that it is today if the CWB had never exsisted. Chas.

Thalpenny,

The CWB claims that they do not affect the North American price of grain, and that buyers domestically pay market price.

The CWB also claims it extracts a premium, and that we receive a price higher than the open market price in the US get!

Something seems out of kilter here, which way is it, does the CWB extract a premium or not?

US farmers have the right to sell all their wheat domestically, from any individual farm. The export price in the US determines the domestic price, as it is obvious not all US farmers can deliver all their wheat domestically, as half of US wheat is exported.

If the CWB does not affect US prices, or domestic Canadian prices, then please tell me how the CWB can give "designated area" farmers higher prices than US wheat producers if the same quality of wheat is compared?
