I'm glad you took the time to respond.<br /><br />I have said a few times that the mega-factory, quota-bearing chicken producers get a small fraction of the total profit that is extracted from the Canadian public. It is the feed mills, large processors, and downstream distribution systems who get the majority of the profit.<br /><br />Canadian SM producers are supposed to be fairly compensated for their investment and hard work. In the case of chicken producers, I believe I have adequately proved that they receive more than their "fair compensation" by using trickery and bogus calculations.<br /><br />By the producers cheating, I believe this enables and encourages everybody else downstream to do the same. The consumer ends up paying for all this cheating. We need to clean house, starting at the beginning. <br /><br />SM was put in place decades ago because chicken farmers had inadequate clout, and were being run into the ground by the big boys. Today, we have a huge, fossilized SM bureaucracy and farmers still don't have adequate marketing clout, just as you said. So what's the point of keeping this useless SM bureaucracy?<br /><br />Let's change the SM system so it works, or get rid of it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17642420667266188730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695637689848135730.post-57170347371098210662013-06-14T15:09:10.857-04:002013-06-14T15:09:10.857-04:00The markups you refer to are just further proof th...The markups you refer to are just further proof that farmers, including chicken farmers, have no marketing clout.
