    Sometimes what people say and do are two different things.

    Most people shy away from confrontation so they will say something agreeingly.

    So if you talk to 10 farmers in a day and seven agree with you that the board has to go maybe 2 or 3 are just saying that to keep the piece.

    I seriously doubt farm size or age has much to do with it.

            Oh I take it you have always been in favor of an elected senate AS? Or only if they are liberal?

            What about the supreme court?

                  Pretty tough for a young farmer to run in the CWB elections. How would he do both jobs? Lets not be niave. If you broke down the support for the CWB by age you would see the support drop dramatically from old to young. I am a young farmer who looks at my farm as a business with no emotion attached. I want to make a certain margin per acre just like any other business. I can not do this with CWB grain cause I don't know what the price will be or even how much they will take. Crazy? In Jan US farmers were offered $13 a bus act of God clause. I could have hauled it all in and have a cheque already. You have to have blinders on to see that the CWB is the way to go. They haven't realy changed much in 75 years.

                    So there should be a whole bunch of young spuds run for CWB election, then change the system from inside eh! The problem is that the young spuds, can't get any support, from the old guys/gals, out on the farm. Well you young spuds, should point out to them that you have a home computer, the willingness to do whatever it takes to make a good grain sale corruption be damned, whatever it takes to make money for farmers. Then you young spuds will surely git elected. Show us the money spuds and we'll support ya!!
