Questions were rhetorical only - the observations are based on facts. Others on the site are asking the same thing. Only trying to present the arguments for anyone who is sitting on the fence. May not be many but there are a few.

Wilagro You don't have to be involved with the "daily operation of the CWB" to see there incompetence.Charlie asked you a good question using facts that are so glaringly obviouse.Nice try on avoiding the question.Instead of refering us to the CWB think for yourself and answer the question.But you won't because you can't.Your thoery was just offended by logic(ie. CWB's pro under world market prices.)So much for this so called premium.

Burbert & Wilagro;

I am not the first, and will not be the last... to bring these issues forward. 10 years ago... these same marketing issues were front and centre.

If we know we must do better... we will improve.

I know innovation and careful fostering of personal relationships pays our farm and community dividends...

It is very easy to blame someone else for problems we ourselves can only be responsible to resolve.

Personal responsibility is the only solution to effectively create prosperity and wealth within our community.

I am writing from my bunker as the flak flies above me. Now where is that white flag? The rather heated discussions over the CWB and the its impact have been great. However, I have a confession to make. I haven't produced any grain for years now...only enough for my cattle. Since they (Agricore) closed the local elevator, and world grain prices have hit the skids...what is the point? Most of my farm is seeded to forage crops.
I don't have the answers for solving the grain growers dilemna, but if you expect meaningful gov't assistance or even a consistent agricultural policy in Canada your dreaming in technicolour. The CWB policies at times do not make sense for certain sectors of the farming or business community but at least they have shown a desire to adapt and change (mostly as a result of producers demands).
Keep up the good fight and don't let the forces of the 'EVIL EMPIRE' (eastern Liberal b------s) get the best of you.
I will be collecting my OAP shortly...I will soon have more annual NET income than I received from farming. Having a TAXABLE income...will indeed be a pleasant surprise

incognito: LOL...You must be getting desperate for something to throw at me.

What I wrote SIX years ago...my you must have worked hard to dig that up.

As a matter of fact, I still have a bin full of barley for sale when the price is right. I will be seeding some barley next year after I do some grassland ripping upper work. My drill and combine still works. I still work. I am still a grain farmer with a vested interest in marketing barley AND wheat when I produce it, through the CWB.

Sooooo...stick it in your ear.

Great to see you back Tom. You have got the pot stirred once again. I will say once more it is about time that if the wheat board wants to remain somewhat relevant they will have to demonstrate their relevance to the bottom line of grain producers. Lately they haven't shown me very much too inspire my confidence or anybody else's.

You are 70 years old, getting an old age pension trying to leave a legacy for the younger generation.

You are desparate sir.

wilagrow,

You've got six year old barley.

Now I've heard that Board supporters are afraid to market their own grain, but hanging on to a bin of barley for six years is like hanging on to your blankey.

You can do it.


Com'on guys, help Wilinot out here.

You can do it.
