New Seed System smells like CWB

[Braveheart]

Then they shouldn't publish their phone numbers. ...I did call the Saskatoon office as published in their newsletter ....the office person said the head guy would call...I left my number...he never called. ..but I am on the opposite side of a mandatory seed tax....no sense in listening to both sides..

There again, if you aren't a member why would you get a call back? If I was in their position I wouldn't waste my time.

Just curious Bucket. You're obviously anti carbon tax. Did you phone the NFU directors when they came out in support of Trudeau's regressive tax?

I didn't call any WCWGA directors. ...I called the Saskatoon office....

And not yet on the NFU question...but most oppose the carbon tax.....I think the Saskatchewan government should do the heavy lifting on this....


But since you mentioned it ....I will call the NFU office.....they will probably engage in a conversation. ....

So why publish something looking for comments....sounds like they only want sheeple with the same opinion. ...

I will repeat...they were looking for opinions. ...

What you are saying is if I don't agree with their opinions ...**** off....right?

But we are buddies on the carbon tax??????

Pretty tough to engage in school girl tactics of the WCWGA .....

Besides you are deflecting to the carbon tax and your arch enemies ....the NFU
....childish....

Disagree with WCWGA all you want. Just don't phone them at home at all hours like Sumdumguy suggested. FYI, I disagree with them on this and plan on letting them know by letter. I'm not a member.

Their tagline used to be "seeking market based solutions". Endpoint or trailing royalties are anything but market based. Wheat Growers need a history lesson.

Fair enough and BTW ...I disagree with both the seed tax and the carbon tax...and the sad part is we are really playing into the government's hand by conversations like this....divide and conquer....all governments do it to avoid helping primary producers....

Which are the only guys that make all the secondary guys shitloads of money. ..

Go to the WCWGA website and "cheque" out their sponsors. Lots of "Industry" support, now you know who's Kool-aid their drinking. Hard to take that group serious with a list of sponsors like that.

Braveheart, according to their website, their name implies that they are a wheat growers association and most government would assume that this association is made up of wheat producers. Therefore It would be logical to assume that the opinions of the directors are consistent with those of prairie grain producers. When the directors give their blessing to policy of this magnitude, negatively impacting our operations, I believe they should hear an outcry and not just a little whimper. Farmer’s rights are being trampled on. What reason do you have to protect the directors actions?

The government knows full well well who the wheat growers and the NFU represent. There is no confusion. It has in the past been even a source of entertainment for government. The landscape was more confusing when there was an evil entity called Sask Wheat Pool whose policies confounded everyone.

As stated earlier, go after the directors, just not at home, at all hours. That's just harassment that their families didn't sign up for.

[Braveheart]

But again because they are a voluntary organization, like the NFU, they're not accountable to non members.

Also, no farm groups make the policy. Government does. Why waste energy and resources on anything but telling government how they've gone horribly wrong on this issue.
