This pool was an attempt at centralised marketing of the entire Western Canadian wheat crop. Ostensibly the main reason for this scheme was to secure for the farmer a fair and stable price for his wheat crop. The purpose of this thesis is to trace the chain of events which, through the years, culminated in the government estab- lishing the Canadian Wneat Board and vesting in that agency monopoly power in the marketing of wheat grown in Western Cana- da.

  • Factors That Influence the Commitment of Members to Their Cooperative Organization Joan R
    Factors That Influence the Commitment of Members to Their Cooperative Organization Joan R. Fulton and Wiktor L. Adamowicz This research explores the factors that influence the commitment of members to their cooperative organization. Previous empirical and theoretical research is reviewed. The cooperative members' decisions regarding patronage are then described intermsofa random utilitymodel. Logit analysis, withdatafrom member surveys of a large grain marketing cooperative. indicates that the factors that influence member patronage are: the ability to share in profits through dividends. the ability to purchase chemicals and fertilizers at the grain elevator, and the percentage of the total farm income obtained from grain operations. There is some evidence that farmers' patronage is positively associated with competitive grain pricing and negatively associated with the firm being active in the community. Additional analysis reveals that the age ofthe farmer significantly affects the impor­ tance the member places on the ability to share in profits through dividends. Member commitmenthas historically been an essential ingredient in the survival of cooperatives. and it continues to be important today. Knapp notes that manyofthe early grain marketing cooperatives met their demise when competing. profit-oriented grain companies would temporarily cut their margins. offer a better price to farmers for their grain. and thereby attract farmers away from the cooperative. A grain marketing cooperative in Rockwell. Iowa. provides an example of a successful counterstrategy (Fowke. p. 131; Knapp. pp. 76-77). To counteract the predatory pricing practices of its competitors the cooperative used a penalty clause that eliminated anyshort-term advantages to members defecting from the coop­ erative. This practice of using penalty clauses to ensure member loyalty was used by some early cooperatives but did not evolve into a standard.

  • An Ex-Post Econometric Analysis of the Abolishment of the Canadian Wheat Board
    an ex-post econometric analysis of the abolishment of the canadian wheat board D. Serfas; University of Saskatchewan, Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, Canada Corresponding author email: [email protected] Abstract: This paper analyzes the impact the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) had on facilitating grain movements and utilizing terminal capacity from 2009/10 to 2015/16 in western Canada through econometric methods. We conduct an ex-post analysis on capacity utilization for every grain delivery station in western Canada controlling for distance to port, car spots, railway companies, and production. We use a CWB dummy variable and freight rates from Quorum Corporation to estimate capacity utilization before and after CWB abolishment. We analyze whether the CWB had an impact on terminal turnover ratios. We conclude the regulatory change in abolishing the CWB significantly reduced capacity utilization and delivery performance despite record production and implementation of ad hoc policies. Current regulatory changes regarding the Minimum Revenue Entitlement (MRE) could have similar outcomes on grain handling performance.

Seeing the potential of Alberta's climate and agronomy to add value to the province's large ranching base, he co-founded and grew Lakeside Farm Industries into one the largest single-site feeding operations in Canada. With the establishment of a beef packing plant in Brooks, Altwasser also began the process of modernizing and growing Canada's beef processing industry. Altwasser was one of the first commercial adopters of Temple Grandin's cattle handling designs, and was a founding director of the Alberta Cattle Feeders Association. Altwasser is insatiably curious and inquisitive about what works and what succeeds in industry, and he has quietly helped and mentored young people to enter and grow in the industry. Today, Alberta's cattle feeding and beef processing industry is large-sclae and globally competitive, thanks in large part to Altwasser's long-range vision and leadership. Alberta Agriculture Hall of Fame| Inductees 3 2018 Dr. Ron Howard Brooks Dr. Ronald (Ron) Howard has spent more than four decades supporting the growth and development of high-value crop industries in Alberta, working with more than 50 different types of crops and plant species as a research, extension and diagnostic plant pathologist.
