He stated that only a small portion of the farmers on that list grow 90% of the wheat and barley. For example he rents land on a share basis from one neighbour, the land owner still gets a ballot from the CWB but he hasn't grown grain since 1966. Do those folks have any idea on how to market grain?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227077066630812976.post-17979894851896845482011-10-26T23:26:03.180-05:002011-10-26T23:26:03.180-05:00Today I called some of the PRO CWB directors to vo...Today I called some of the PRO CWB directors to voice my displeasure at their decision to spend our money fighting their battle with the feds. When talking with one director, I asked for a budget for the cost of the legal battle. He refused to tell me what they planned to spend and by the end of the conversation told me to quote "Bugger off".

If sales in a given year are 5 billion then a 500 million dollar benefit represents 10% of total sales. That in itself is rather hard to believe to say the least. Funny that some reporter doesn`t pick up on that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
