Should read before I hit send.

Should be unit trains to 75,000 tonne vessels.

Also the reference should be to open market pricing early 2008 (not 2009).

I'm reminded of a true story here.

In April of 1912 my great great aunt, her adult children and her husband Mark Fortune from Winnipeg were coming home from overseas on this unsinkable ship called the Titanic.

After the ship hit the iceberg, the women and children were ordered into the lifeboats. So Mary and her two daughters reluctantly did so. But because the ship was unsinkable, the daughters took off all their jewelry and along with all their other valuables, gave them to the father and brother because even as they were being ordered into the lifeboats they still believed the ship was unsinkable.

Well today those valuables are at the bottom of the Atlantic. Reality won out over the hype and advertising.

Same with the cwb debate, reality will win out over the hype and advertising. If the cwb and their supporters want to believe their own lies, fine, let them. If individual farmers choose to not do their own due diligence, fine. It's their wealth being lost.

Me, I do everything in my power not to deal with cwb, I just wish more farmers knew that if they too chose the same the cwb ship would sink much faster.

Good story Adam.

That is one hell of a damning chart Fran,good post.

I hate to calculate my losses.

20 dollars was my magic number.(undeniable fact)

130% old crop and 50% new,would have been where i landed.

Just curious if you bothed to watch the CWB year end presentation? Do you have any thoughts about what the CWB said?

[Fransisco]

Grainbeetles thoughts about the CWB are quite obvious, he thinks he better try and change the topic.

Maybe we'd better not get into posting self-portraits.
