New CWB Director

[katoe]

Farmers never re-elected Ken to the board of directors of Agricore United and now he gets appointed to represent farmers on the cwb. Wow!

I agree with Northfarmer, and as one wise man said - "change is good donkey"

Katoe,

Ken was an outspoken conservative at AU, especially in fiscal matters.

Often this upset management, and from what I saw proves the point/reason/need for an appointed director;

A record of being skilled, uncompromising when it comes to principal; and willing to stand for the truth: behind the principals we are giving our lives to defend.

A perfect fit as someone who has seen the corporate side of grain politics... KEN.

Yet Ken is willing to sacrifice his family and farm business to represent all "designated area" growers...

Being responsible to the CWB minister to fairly judge CWB performance...

With an obligation to better CWB marketing performance... in the interests of all Canadians.

God Bless you Ken; I don't envy your responsibility!

Katoe;

Perhaps a time of proving would be appropriate... allow Ken a few months on the job before condeming his skills; this would be, fitting.

Are you implying A.U. is not right wing conservative? Why didn't Ken run in aproducer election? This is purely a political appointment.The appointed directors have been appointed for specific expertise in the past. Not because they believe in a certain way of marketing grain.

ross keith was not a political appointment by ralph goodale?
