    Speaking of the CWB

    Web sites like the NFU and the Canadian Wheat Board Alliance have pages on how good the old CWB was, how proportionately less money we are getting for our grain now, and how transportation was so much better co-ordinated. Are there any right wing web sites that say how wonderful it is now?

    I have argued this history stuff before. I'm not interested tonight.

    What I want to hear about the CWB is, what are their bids? Any new programs? Do they have transportation logistics secured? Basically, what are they offering for competition?

      A castrated bull can't "do business", they're in the process of growing a pair. If they have to rely on other bulls the help them do business, they will never be competitive.....

        personally I think it's just fine... Will cash in on durum again this year. Thankfully no cwb to steal it for less than half its value this go round. There is nothing to debate. Just went thru company financials today. Funny how since the demise of the single desk my income has only gone one direction. Up up and away

            The CWB graded some of our CWRS as feed, Paterson graded the same sample #2. CWB must think they still have the gun to our head.

                I have my doubts many farmers take the NFU seriously since they supported the "Idle No More"/Chief Teresa Spence gongshow.

                  capn....there may have been during the debate, but its over. Dunno how or why all those involved... past, present and in the future....not bound by state controls would create freedom websites. Think you would just have to google ag or market opportunities and use your imagination. Good luck on your search.

                    Hobby: the Witch may be dead or at the very most casting a small shadow of it's previous self. But is has been replaced by a Troll. Will we be keen enough to outsmart the Troll and get to the other side to greener pastures?
