    It only took a day for the media to drop the story. They are hurting for stories, but not hurting that bad.

        Don't get carried away here.

        The CWB is getting "good prices" because the wheat market in general has heated up - not because of the "monopoly" as you put it (even the CWB uses the term "single desk", not monopoly).

        Also, the US Wheat Associates are seeing "strong competition" which could mean "aggressive" pricing (call it discounting if you want).

        And in markets such as Indonesia and Vietnam - which have never been identified as "premium" markets by the CWB.

          Chaff;we dont need to know the prices we're getting.Its not our job.Under the cwb Act weare called 'producers'.Like my daughter says"hello"its our job under the law to produce---not market.

          This talk of prices and markets is very unsettling to the serfs.

              Yes, we get all upset with those pesky details...let our agent, the CWB do that dirty work for us. That's what they get paid for.

                winwin,

                I once had a weird dream (nightmare) that Rosie was giving me a real good spanking.

                I'll never mixed Tequila, Southern Comfort and Merlot again.

                  I think Wilagro just took a big gulp of "the cool-aid".

                      The state also has no business in A.S.'s grain marketing.

                      A.S.: What were you smokin' in Jamaica mon? That is just sick.
