As a farmer, whether I agree or disagree with the Wheat Board and its stance, all I want is a choice. I don't want somebody telling me that I have to sell my malt barley or my milling grade wheat through the board. All I've ever asked for is a choice, and I haven't been offered that. I will use the board if I see that there's a benefit to using it. I don't want to see the board disbanded. I think it has a valuable place on the Prairies, but I want a choice.
The farmers have spoken, and they want the single desk. But what about the farmers like me who don't necessarily want the single desk? All I'm asking for is a choice. The farmers' rights are being ignored by the government. What, my rights don't matter?
