Tom4cwb: I deal with the same grain handlers that you do. I can't say I'am unhappy with them as grain handlers but I do think there is a better way to price are grain especialy for export. I'll give you the domestic open market to create more value added in Western Canada and you give me a Farmer Controlled CWB for export of all grain and oilseeds in CANADA and we can use either one or both to our benifits. I would like to see all exporting countries adopt this system cooperatively so some stablity could be established in pricing and supplies in international markets. Don't rip this all to hell just give me some positive feed back. We need a lot of help from WTO to make this work right I agree but it could solve a lot of problems that the open market don't give a dam about. Respectfully Chas.

I am aware that there are a few Breeder Associations being created in Alberta. These operate in a manner similar to the Feeder's Associaitons. For information contact Ms. Coates (403)631-2299. These co-ops are generally organizing financing through Alberta Treasury Branches. More information on this can be found at your local ATB or call John Erdman at (780)408-7194
