Which grain companies support the single desk?

I think APAS is full of left-wing nutsies and APAS is dancing with Flaman and friends.

Not one of my tax dollar goes to those fruitcakes. I'd rather not farm than give them even one very red cent. I am surprised that so many southern RM's are shovelling money to APAS.

If you want to see who spends millions, lobbying in Ottawa, type in your favorite grain company, or the Wheat Board.

More spent on lobbying than sent in interim payments.

Yoo-hoo, Benny.
The Jeopardy theme song has stopped.

Are you there?
What's the answer?
Who am I?
And, who am I?
I can hardly contain myself.
Me neither.

i know the terminals made their best money on board grains. What they made went back to producers in dividends.

as far as grain companys reaping from the board.

Well their gonna get it one way or another. the values and charges may move around a bit , but their still gonna get it. and more !

their balance sheets still need income and their investors are still gonna want dividends.

farmers will still foot the bill

[parsley]

uh uh

What they made went back to SHAREHOLDERS in dividends.

Big difference between shareholders and producers.
