    My guess is CWB no longer will have single desk authourity and will still be encouraged to market barely thru a pool system.

    Vote outcome, to keep barley under single desk will have the highest votes. Dual market next.

    Anyone else got some guesses?

    Time is 7:36 MST.

      My guess is the middle question/open market with a CWB alternative will be highest at 40 % with both status quo/no CWB role in barley similar at 30 %.

      Any other quesses?

        My guess is he'll spin it the way he needs to spin it and somehow Quebec will end up with another 3 billion dollars.

              1-60%, 2-20%, 3-20%. Too many people hate change. Vote does not matter, change will come. Dual is in.

                  62% want change, Finally we know that the CWB has not fulfilled its duty to Canadian farmers if 62% of us wish its demise.
                  To the Liberals bring it back yea that's a good game plan the same as your useless Ag Policy of the last 13 years.
                  To all the CWB supporters they just said they couldn't compete against open market yesterday before the results were shown, Boy that must make you all the more proud of their accomplishments.
                  Maybe Agriculture is finally changing.
