Wheat and Barley to CWB

[TOM4CWB]

Incognito;

I was just thinking:

How much Wheat and Barley for the human consumption market does the CWB have tied up now... 75% of 2006 production?

So if marketing choice were to happen tommorrow... virtually nothing would change for most farmers.

What is your thought?

[Incognito]

no one can answer that question Tom but the CWB.

transparency is a real issue for the Americans and should be for farmers in western Canada too.

When you say tied up, what do you mean? Priced? Supply contracts?

[TOM4CWB]

Charlie,

Supply Contracts and pricing contracts both.

With space so short, many people shipped 20% of their wheat to the CWB, and this effectively ties up 100% of the wheat they grew.
