Who is the board?

[kamichel]

CWB Canadian wheat board.

SO the CWB is sourcing the barley - not the malt company?

[kamichel]

Since when does a malt company sourse barley? Monopoly = only CWB is responsible for soursing barley.
Reality check for Incognito domestic maltsters getting shorted. CWB responsible to ensure supply.

[Incognito]

No reality check for you young man.

The CWB have said in press release after press release that they could not compete with the big bad multinationals with no facilities.

They are doing it today.

PS

you might want to talk to a few farmers who deal direct with malt companies. It does happen if you are big enough strong enough and god darn it - if people like you.

[kamichel]

Incog so far all I hear is wind. So what kind of deals have you made?

[Vader]

Big difference sourcing through the trade (brokers or grain companies) when you have a monopoly versus when those same companies are your competitors in an open (dual) market!

If all else fails, bring out the boogeyman .

The point is:
Ever wonder where malt barley would be if it was an open bid market? Would we be selling malt barley at 3.10$ Fob when feed is averaging over 2.85$ Fob. In an open market would 25cents be sufficient premium to lure supplies away from feed?

And in the altruism of the CWB fair and share equal market place is it fair that a broker (any broker) and producers get a better bid than other producers in the barley pool?

Excuse me but if we swallow the CWB vision in a fair and share system no one should benefite over another without equal opportunity to share the wealth including brokers.

Does the CWB of pooling price and all get the same fail to pass the test under this application. (Goodness me, Glory be Heaven forbid the thought!_and the like!)

Or will the CWB plan to compensate the rest of the pool to the same level at the end of the day. (I had heard reports of higher prices being paid as well.)

So how does the CWB equalize payments to all under this scenario. Or will some (dread the thought) get more than some others? A fearsome concept to the security of the vision.
