Wheat and Barley prices are really profitable for the Government of Canada this year as the CWB ramps up hiring staff to tell everyone the success story at the CWB.

Take a look at this one!

Exciting?? What would make this such an exciting opportunity? (Other than all the obvious perks that come from being part of the Liberal party)

Maybe you should apply for this position ,Tom, after all it is a competition not an appointment. You seem to be able to relate to government well. Maybe you could convince the american government to remove the wheat tarriff and the european governments to stop subsidizing exports?

When we finally have marketing choice and freedom to market, I will work to solve these problems wholeheartedly. As it stands today we are guilty as charged and have no defence.

Two wrongs do not make a right.

The export subsidy coming out of the CWB pool accounts is of no benefit to any grain farmer in Canada or internationally selling in competition with the western Canadian grain farmer.

The only way to assure a fair price is to allow buyers an opportunity to pay more to the specific farmers who will provide special produce... without pooling and buyback charges... a free export license as is granted to Ontario or BC grain farmers.

Then we will have a defence and opportunity to create value!
