marketing???

It's a sad world when farmers let the webbers of the world steal from them and call it marketing

[LWeber]

**** you and the horse you rode in on Stubble. Go market through the CWB - the more you do the faster your neighbour can buy your sorry ass out.

[stubblejumper]

Scumbags have been stealing from farmers as long as there have been farmers. It's your turn now take all you can as fast as you can because eventually they will figure your scam out.

What is with the hatred for Weber?

He gives a daily snapshot of the world relating to ag.

Did the CWB ever give a daily report, given all the resources they had? Maybe if they had, farmers would have had some faith in them.

The cwb used the "trust us, we know better than you dumbshit farmers" approach. And then hid behind a secret report that farmers couldn't see ( had to pay for though) about what they did wrong. Yeah, I am still bitter about a 250 million dollar trading loss and no one was fired and no one can read the report on it.

If a trader did this in Toronto it would be on the National every night for a week. And a hundred journalists trying to get to the bottom of the story.

No one makes anyone buy subscriptions to news or marketing letters. If I want to let someone else to compile info into a neat package that is my choice.

It may take some longer to figure it out

Going Backwards 2 is apparently viewed by
some framers as a positive step forwards.
Then again their are some framers who
simply wood like to be kicked in the balls
ever once in a while, and call it a
reality check, positive butt hurts like
hell. Heil Harper!

Stubble: with all due respect, regarding marketing, on my farm I still make the decision, not the market analyst.

When the CWB recieved the marketing report
stats they had contracted, the results proved
exactly opposite of what the CWB hoped to find.
In fact, the report exposed the CWB as marketing
liars. So the CWB buried it. I have the report. It
was sent to me, in confidence, to let farmers
know we were on the right track. I promised
confidentiality, and have stood by it. Farmers paid
for a report they never saw.

Weber sends reports we read, discuss, and if we
don't like tehm, we can choose to unsubscribe.
Nor is he protected by legislation that forces
farmers to subscribe, or pay him to speak.

As an organic farmer, Weber's newsletter is more
valuable, even though it pertains to the
conventional market, than the CWB ever was.
They stole, lied, cheated, deceives, manipulated
and worse, played one farmer against the other.
At least Weber encourages farmers. By providing
information so they can choose.

Choice trumps force. Stubble.You have yet to
learn the lesson. Pars

Actually you could only make your own marketing decisions in wheat durum and barley for the last few months.

Up until then you were equal to stubble and burbert, which is just the way they liked it!
