Strahl (CPC) confirms his fascist intentions

[BitWhys]

The proposed regulations have been announced and they're exactly what I expected ...

"The proposed amendments to the Regulations would continue to extend Part III to barley."

Part III of the act "provides for federal government guarantees of initial payments paid to producers". Team that up with outstanding contracts and the private buyers are in the pink. Strahl is hooking a vacuum cleaner up to the public purse.

Anyone know if the volume of future contracts is already public knowledge? If not, busting the books open like the CONs are trying to do is just going to add to the sucking sound.

no fans of Strahl around to defend him?

Never heard of the guy till now, Bit.

 

[BitWhys]

That's probably a mountain thing. Too bad its your tax money the resellers will be cornering, too.

However, most of these farmers want the CWB to continue to play a role in the barley market. The CWB directors and management should respect those wishes and come up with a plan that serves our needs.
...

not one of them, you'll note, makes mention of Part III of the act.

hey Rocky! watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat.
