It's official that if you suggest otherwise, you're a socialist commie nazi.
Socialist eh? Does that mean CPC is cancelling all the Stimulus programs? Renegging on Totalitarianism and reversing killing of laws decided by the people? Commie as in Nor American Socialist Union?

I'm not talking about what the government wants. It's what the slaves actually believe is happening.

When Cargill gets its own stim-boost, we'll get to marvel at the "free market" once again.

Want to make money for yourself off of all this and be part of the "Action Plan"?

No, I just want to avoid this:


In 1970, Cargill sold 63,000 tons of seed grain to Basra, Iraq treated with methylmercury, a practice banned in most Western countries. Though intended for agricultural use, and not for human or animal consumption, some recipients used it as food, as the only printed warnings about the poison were written in English and Spanish, intended as warnings for American dock workers. This led to the deaths of 93 people.[14]

In October 2007, Cargill announced the recall of nearly 850,000 frozen beef patties produced at its packing plant in Butler, Wisconsin. The patties were suspected of being contaminated with E. coli.[15] The beef was sold mainly at Walmart and Sam's Club stores.

In March 2009, the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) temporarily suspended Cargill Australia's license to export meat to Japan and the US, after E. coli was detected in Cargill's export containers from its Wagga Wagga plant. In late April 2009, AQIS lifted Cargill Australia's suspension on its export licence.[16]

In August 2011, the USDA and Cargill jointly announced the recall of 36 million pounds of ground turkey produced at Cargill's Springdale, Arkansas plant due to salmonella fears. The meat recalled was produced from February, 20 to August 2. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that the particular strain of salmonella found was resistant to commonly prescribed antibiotics. At this time one death and seventy-six illnesses from twenty-six states have been reported. Some twenty-five types of ground turkey produced under various brand names are impacted, and all of the packages in question contain the code "Est. P-963."

Hey, welcome to free choice land, where an open market is always the right thing to do!

Avoid stuff like that? What about the USDA's S.S.S BSE policy? (Shoot, Shovel and Shut-Up)?

Lilley sums it up the other day:


Imagine I told you that there was a product, an entire industry actually, that was forced by law to sell it’s product to just one organization, a government backed organization, one with the power of the law behind it. Sell to these people or go to jail.
Now imagine that people making the exact same product in other parts of the country are allowed to sell to absolutely anyone they want to do business with.

Lilley


What's more amazing is that there are those that are fighting to keep this in place.

This is the start of the dismantling of all marketing boards for agriculture. It will be interesting to see what happens when the full effect takes place. I expect we'll have far fewer farms owned by farmers.

I can't imagine that it will be any different than what has been experienced in Eastern Canada for the entire time that the CWB was the only option in the West.

Different than the east? Of course. We'll start making deliveries in our pick up trucks to Buckersfield feeds too. What do they pay for No.1 red spring?

On Census Day (2006), there were 10,309 fewer farms in Ontario compared to 1996. A census farm is an agricultural operation that produces an agricultural product intended for sale.

Census of Agriculture counts 57,211 farms in Ontario

Wow.. I can see the devastating effects of not having the CWB in place!... Ontario reported 10,000 fewer farms in 2006! Sure, it took 70 years or so for the effects to be truly felt, but there it is in black and white.

Now they only produce one pick up truck full instead of two?

... And that is a direct result of the CWB being an optional program in Ont?.. I'm guessing that had everyone been forced to be in the CWB in Ontario, things would be dramatically different and rather than having 10,00 fewer farms, we'd see many more farms on the census.

I don't know Petros... All I know is that an expert such as yourself is very animate about the CWB saving family farms everywhere and that if they are removed from the equation, virtual agri-armageddon will follow shortly.

All I'm really curious about is why this agri policy isn't being mandated in Eastern Canada, it just seems that if the legislators in Ottawa really cared about the farmers in Eastern Canada, they'd have instituted this policy in the East as well in order to protect agri business there.

Are you going to come to my farm and do wheat tastings and eat over priced cookies in the cafe and tour the operation. I'll only nail you $30 a head. Value added right?
