Jeff Nielsen - Working for Farmers

Your District 2 CWB Director

District 2 has voted for marketing choice since 1998, I will continue to work towards providing farmers real choice including the option of selling through a pool.

Farmers deserve more marketing options and a competitive and efficient CWB that delivers higher returns for wheat and barley today. I will work closely with other directors to ensure an efficient and effective CWB that provides real marketing choice.

District 2 farmers have a strong history of working closely with end users and local buyers. I supports these relationships and will work to ensure even more direct relationships are available for farmers and end users, creating value for both.

The CWB needs strong leadership and sound corporate governance. I believe I have the leadership to bring the CWB into a new era of providing real marketing choice and a higher level of service to Western Canada's wheat and barley producers.

Being optimistic about the future of agriculture is what I believe in, and we need to encourage young people to be involved. We need a Canadian Wheat Board that meets farmers needs today - and in the future.

As an active farmer and agricultural leaderI feel I have a proven track record on the farm and in the board room.
