I agree with this. I don't understand why giving farmers the option of who they will sell their products to means the end of the wheat board. The wheat board is simply using scare tactics because it means they will lose some farmers who chose to sell outside the CWB. I also have an issue with the fact that this only farmers from the west have to sell to the wheat board but farmers from Ontario east don't. The entire thing is just rediculous.
