Should the Canadian Wheat Board be:

I think that if we could go back in time & talk to the early settlers to find out what things were like before the CWB we would find that it was not all sunshine & roses then either. Iam told by a older farmer that his father remembers it this way. After harvest you were looking back at a long list of creditors that were holding you all spring & summer on ones hopes & prayers that you would in fact harvest a crop. those who faced this were forced to sell there crop as soon as they could to pay bills & it was usually for a lower price than if you could afford to wait it out till spring when wheat prices were a lot higher. In more modern times it was left up to the CWB to work for all farmers not just the ones who could hold off till better times to sell a crop on the open market. price pooling was a more fair way to look after all farmers in western Canada. Take this system away & go to the dog eat dog way of modern times will destroy the system that all the rest of the world wish they had thought of first & envy us to the point of putting all there resourses In trying to bring it down. Together we are strong divided we will fall. Listen to the voices of the past. nothing the government has ever taken away from farming has ever been looked back on with favorable eyes. re the crow rate.
