Milk board faces legal challenge

Most industries and most businesses concentrate on meeting the needs of the customer - the dairy industry has obviously long-since forgotten about its customers and is, instead, concentrating on the meeting the needs of the legal profession to provide full-employment for itself.

In addition, one has to have considerable doubts about the basic adequacy of the post-secondary education being received by the prospective junior partners of the applicants. Why, for example, would any well-educated person aspire to a career in the increasingly-litigious quagmire calling itself the Canadian dairy industry, let alone aspire to assume even a small part of the cost of acquiring this much quota which serves no purpose except to fleece consumers, bully other farmers, and which could become worthless overnight?

I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE THE ONLY BLACK SHEEP IN COW'S CLOTHING TO TAKE ON THIS GOVERNMENT AGENCY ! I AM PROUD TO SEE THESE TWO GIVE IT A WHIRL ,I HOPE YOU WANT TO BURN UP 100,000.00 OF DOLLARS LIKE WE DID ,ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE COURTS WILL PROTECT THEM NO MATTER RATHER IT IS WITHIN THE LAW OR NOT ! ONE LITTLE BIT OF ADVICE BE PREPARED TO LEAVE THE DAIRY INDUSTRY BECAUSE IF YOU DO NOT THEY WILL TRY TO BANKRUPT YOU INSTEAD ! THEY PLAY VERY MEAN AND HARD ,AFTER ALL IT IS NOT THEIR MONEY THEY ARE SPENDING ! AS FAR AS THE TRIBUNAL IT IS THERE ALSO TO PROTECT IT'S GOVERNMENT AGENCY SO BE PREPARED TO TAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPREM COURT OF CANADA AND THEN BE REFUSED TO BE HEARD BECAUSE THEY KNOW BASED ON THE LAW YOU WOULD WIN ! JUST LETTING YOU KNOW ALL THIS ,IN CASE YOU FORGOT OR DID NOT KNOW , I TOOK THEM 7 TIMES ,ONE AFTER ONE TO THE TRIBUNAL FIRST ,THEN WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A FAIR SHOOT AT A WIN BASED ON THE LAW AND CAME OUT WITH A MERE VICTORY ON SOME AND A HUGH WIN ON OTHER ONES ! IF YOU ASKED ME TO DAY WOULD I DO IT AGAIN THE ANSWER WOULD BE YES !! GOOD LUCK BILL DENBY ,TREASURE ISLAND RV CENTRE

They must of known the farm they were buying needed renovations,why the year wait ?
There's not a dairy farmer out there that does not know the rules concerning buying and selling of milk quota,especially the 5 year requirement prohibiting transferring of quota.Either they could not come up with another big loan for renovations or they never intended to in the first place.
I was a dairy farmer for over 35 years and we all should know the rules,don't have much use for the people that choose to try and circumvent them.

I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU AND WHERE DO YOU LIVE OR CAME FROM ? THAT IS THE PROBLEM TO DAY ,JUST BECAUSE SOME GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE DECIDES HE OR SHE DOES NOT LIKE THE FACT THAT THE FARMER MIGHT HAVE SOME CHOICE IN DECISION MAKING ,THEY STOP THEM ! THAT IS WHY THEY CAN DO ANYTHING THEY WANT TO FARMERS AT A MOMENT WARNING ! I KEEP ASKING MY SELF WHO AND THE HELL DO THEY THINK THEY ARE AND NO ONE ELSE EXCEPT THESE TWO GUYS SAID NO ! GOOD FOR THEM ,THESE PEOPLE MAKING THE RULES HAVE NEVER FARMED A DAY IN THERE LIFE ,BUT THEY KNOW EVERY THING JUST LIKE YOU ! WHAT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO SAY THEY SHOULD KNOW THE RULES ,THEY KNOW THE RULES OR THEY WOULD NOT BE PREPARED TO GO TO THE TRIBUNAL ! GOD SOME PEOPLE ARE STUPID !! BILL DENBY ,PS I TOOKTHESE SAME IDIOTS 7 TIMES IN A ROWAND ONE ALL BUT ONE AND LATER GOT A LARGE SETTLEMENT FROM THEM NOT TO GO ANY FURTHER IN COURT ! SO GIVE THEM HELL !!

THERE THEY GO AGAIN ,HOW DO YOU KNOW I AM NOT FARMING ,I BOUGHT A PROPERTY MONTHS AGO AND CASH CROP !YOU ARE QUITE A IDIOT !YOU SHOULD KNOW YOUR FACTS BEFORE YOU COMMENT ! WE ARE WAITING FOR A CUSTOMS RULING THEN WE WILL ALL SEE HOW HAPPY YOU ARE !! BILL DENBY ,STILL IMPORTS AND REEXPORTS DAIRY PRODUCTS !IT IS NOT HARD TO BREAK THOUGH THE PROTECTED WALL AND FLOAD THE ONTARIO MARKET !YOU DAIRY FARMERS ARE SO SELFISH AND GREEDY THAT YOU MAKE THE CONSUMER SICK .WHY DO YOU THINK SCMIDT IS STILL IN BUSINESS AND GROWING HIS SERVICES ! STUPID DAIRY FARMERS BUYING THAT QUOTA FOR THE RIGHT TO WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT AGENCY ,THAT YOU DO NOT OWN ! BUT I HAVE TO THANK THEM ON THE PAY OUT !!

I don't doubt that they knew there were rules to be followed . When were these rules brought into being ? Could be that these rules are out dated , possibly only really work for the large or the extremely small producers .
Some times rules are need to be challenged to bring things up to date . There are many more partnerships in agriculture these days .
