The board doesn't know what I need to get in order to break even on my farm. They don't know what the break-even point is, what the cost of production is. Therefore, how can they possibly find a price that is best suited for my farm?
Price isn't even always the issue. Proponents of the board say that the Wheat Board gives them a fair price. Fair is not okay with me; I'm trying to get the best price.
In addition to that, as a young farmer, I have cashflow needs that are different from every other farmer out there. Every farmer has different cashflow needs. So I'm forced to make marketing decisions on my off-board grains based on what's happening, getting my cheque from the Wheat Board a year and a half later.
I also have storage needs. I'm spending a dollar or more a bushel on storage needs because I have to store this grain that the Wheat Board isn't selling.
