Without saying who you voted for( I suppose you may if you must), what criteria did you use to pick your choices for the commission elections? If you think you had a reason( other than laziness) for not voting, what was that?

The people that can't answer their phones as candidates don't get a vote....

People that engage and listen whether they agree or not...are considered...

People that are on other boards are also eliminated for my vote although it looks like thats the prerequisite....elect people with no focus....FFS...

Not very impressed with a couple of the new directors on the saskwheat board...unfocused , and too busy....must have other self interests to be there....just a guess.

If you sold wheat in Sask in the last 2 years you should have received a bright yellow ballot( green for barley?) in the mail late Sept, but yes, a write up in the Western Seducer would have been nice.

Done both, got nothing. Probably too small a farmer to get a vote.

If I had got the info, I would have voted for the person who stated clearly what they planned to work towards doing.

I would not have voted for the person who talked about their farm and whether or not they were on x board or y board for x years.

Don't forget...you have to be a 4th generation farmer to qualify as well....hahaha

Actually the instructions for the bios were to talk about your qualifications, your farm, and your 'platform'.

What kind of focus do you get with a person that is on 4 other boards?

And can't correlate the overlap to consolidate the groups because that would mean less paychecks....
