As far as Chuck Strahl is concerned...

...this is "a cooked-up, slanted question":

I wish to maintain the ability to market all barley, with the continuing exception of feed wheat sold domestically, through the CWB single-desk system.

OR

I wish to remove the single-desk marketing system from the CWB and sell all barley through an open-market system.

gotta hand it to Doer. If he's pulling a fast one he managed to get it past me.

:laughing7:

beauty

Strahl said barley farmers can vote to maintain the board's export monopoly, scrap the board's role as marketer or allow the board to be part of a free market for barley.

such hypocracy is truly a rare item. I hope the Calgary School feels as utterly used as they really have been.

The question on the ballot will be:

:laughing7:

- The Canadian Wheat Board should retain the single desk for the marketing of barley into domestic human consumption and export markets.

- I would like the option to market my barley to the Canadian Wheat Board or any other domestic or foreign buyer.

- The Canadian Wheat Board should not have a role in the marketing of barley.

for those of you who haven't figured it out yet...

option #2 is FASCISM :wave:
