LWeber, any way to get a copy of this e-mail.

Burburt, perhaps you missed what was stated in the post. The CWB determines themselves that they have sold at a premium. They are patting themselves on the back for a job well done and we are just left in the dark about all this.

In the end the argument comes down to the freedom of being able to market our grain just like Wilagro needed the freedom to work independently without someone looking over his shoulder . I do not want the CWB looking over my shoulder, determining what I should pay for my own grain to buy it back to be able to sell it as my farm and personal situatioon dictates.

It's not so much that it feels like the board is looking over ones shoulder, it's more like dropping the soap in a prison shower.

It's kinda like getting to mark your own exams.

Well Agstar77, I believe you are a director. What about the information I gathered. Is it the truth, close to the truth or way off base?

[furrowtickler]

typical response agstar, back it up with your facts!

You criticize these guys that are trying to market their own grain.

Here's what I see. A marketing team in Winnipeg that has completely misread the current crop and cost us billions of dollars. I would be okay with it if they just had the balls to admit their mistakes and the people responsible would quit without looking for a monster severance. They misread the frost in Kansas last april, the drought in western canada and nobody loses their job.

To be fair a ratio should be established. Number of farmers lost to the number of cwb employees required.

Accepting responsibilty would go a long way in my eyes about competence and accountabilty.

I don't think there is one of these so called marketers who actually want to market grain. All they really want to do is price grain into the US market taking away this shared premium from the rest of us.
