Why not. It works for logs. Granted I don't get the same price for 2 or 3 loads from a little clearing job as I would from a timber sale of 100 loads but there is no shortage of buyers. Paid on grade.

.... But, but, but.. How can that be?
Why there's no gvt body that you're forced to sell to?.. No 'lumber pool'?.. No Big Brother to watch-out for you?..
Does it work for logs? Raw or cut? Why do you export raw logs? Where is your "value added"?
You said I'm being ripped off. Tell my how and explain in FULL.
Still having some issues with comprehension I see.
The fact that I don't answer questions for people who don't answer mine, aside, I already posted the link. You purposely miss read it.
But feel free to keep flailing around.
It's funny.
That is only one aspect of our food production system. The reality is that we have a cheap food policy in this country. Were the government to remove themselves completely from the picture, food prices would double.
I don't want a link. I want your opinion based on direct experience. Explain the rip off scenario in FULL based on your personal experience of being ripped off by the CWB.
You mean competeing against subsidized agro like the US? I'll gladly ditch the wheat board for a $30 an acre subsidy funded directly by taxpayers.
I guess it's bad for CDN Govt to make a nickel or two marketing but should subsidize through taxpayers instead?
Since the discussion is on 'marketing boards", I guess that's as close to conceding as you'll ever get.
It's a marketing board or a marketing board with a massive high volume pool system? What are the differences?
That's your direct experience? None?Since the discussion is on 'marketing boards", I guess that's as close to conceding as you'll ever get.
The discussion is about whatever we wish to discuss.....unless you were made forum cop without my knowledge. Where you?
I don't need to have experience with the production of steel, to know how it's sold.
Context is everything pumpkin. Trying to expand the parameters to try and make yourself look right, is simply weak.
On certain foods, mainly dairy and poultry, the rest is priced pretty close to our prices.
You really are out of steam eh...
So we'll never see you comment on anything you have no direct experience with again.
Go to know.
This is how it has worked for logs since forever. If it is cut it is NOT a raw log. I don't export raw logs. It is not all that simple. Most of the raw log exports come from large private lands and some more specialized logs or parts of them from crown land. There are two main reasons for raw log exports. Cost of lumber production in B.C. is the main one and includes high wages, taxes by all levels of governments and the high cost of compliance with local bylaws and environmental laws. Second is that many countries do not build as we do and our mills do not cut what they want easily. Especially in second growth. I
Why don't you export loaves of bread instead of wheat?
I'm still not clear on why we export crude oil instead of refined products either. Seams to me we are missing out on a huge job creation project.
