That should read AA plus the plus sign doesn't show up when I type it in.

Burbert,and Wilagro, you guys are unbelievable. What is it in your narrow minds that make you two think that it's only the "Big Boys", who want change?? I know plenty of section, or two section farms that want change.

I gurantee you take a vote on this site, and it has nothing to do with big or small. It has to do with age. I'm 28 years old, that's the differnce. Now it's my turn to stereo type. I would love to guess Burbert, and Wilagro's age, because I bet your over 45. AND YOUR AFRAID OF CHANGE!!!!

[HFL]

I am 48. I can't wait for change......Does this mean I am old????

[kamichel]

HFL change will keep you young.

Burbert:
Of all the days for you to throw everything negative, fearmongering, etc. You're just like the little groundhog scurrying back to the hole, after seeing your shadow. The shadow in this case is CHANGE. In your opinion let's have another 70 years of CWB control.

jeez, snappy, I can't even remember 45.

HFL, sorry no I was trying to be sarcastic, to Wilagro & Burbert. As they say it's all the "Big Boys", that want change. I say it's all the "young" who want change.

[parsley]

Parsley, sorry. I guess I wasn't clear enough on what I meant. I don't think it's fair to stereo type the big vs the small, or the old vs the young. I know lots of smaller operations that want change, as do lots of the older want change. But I will say after being to alot of meetings this winter, the number of farmers over 45 are far more against change then for it. I asked a question at a meeting earlier this winter about my concerns with the CWB, and a group of older farmers ripped in to me, about how the younger generation doesn't know any better, and we're (the younger generation) going to destroy the agriculture sector with these crazy ideas.

God, I hope the younger generation wants some change? The way things have been going...if something doesn't change the whole damned lot of us will be history? What worked in the thirties sure doesn't work today?
I do think these younger guys have a better understanding of a whole lot of things? They aren't intimidated by the "BIG BAD CORPORATE WORLD"?
The really silly part of this whole thing, is simply this: The guys who feel comfortable with the CWB, will still be able to market their grain through them? And the CWB should do well? They do have some very competent people working for them? They do have a lot of government support?
Big revelation: The world will not end on the day the CWB loses the monopoly to market wheat and barley! Yes, things will change...but not the end of the world?
