He was also said to have made a remark at a CBEF meeting that if someone had a market for tested beef that they would let them test. That is not probably verbatum as i was not at that meeting. Best talk to Dr. Evans personally or at least someone at the CBEF meeting.

So if Evans is saying that testing would be okay :roll: and we already know that CBEF has done enough background work to say it could work to open markets-------- Why is it that SSGA - ABP - and good old CCA don't come right out and say that they were wrong about the testing issue and that they support testing as a marketing tool and want the packers in Canada to embrace it? Too much pride Big Muddy - or could it be that the packers still pull the strings in the above mentioned organizations?
rkaiser said:As soon as you and the rest of the gang in our industry leadership :roll: embrace the idea and tell us to go ahead --- we'll be all over it. In the mean time you and your gang are still the "voice of the producer" :roll: and the government still takes what you say as best.
How bout it Big Muddy - are you going to push for testing for marketing puposes?
rkaiser said:Who are "they" Big Muddy? "They" should be the producers of this country led by our industry leadership. "We" need to tell Cargill at High River and Tyson at Brooks (the only two companies with potential to export anything from this bloody country) that "we" want them to prove that they are truly Canadian based companies and will do what Canada and it's producers want them to do. So when are "we" going to get on with it Big Muddy?[/quote
They are the CFIA.
Are you a ABP delegate yet?
Word is that they are just waiting for someone to ask.

This statement is pure unadulterated BS. :roll: :roll: :roll:
The Japs started asking for testing in the beginning of 2004.![]()

I didn't have to be to see through your statement.
Why don't you tell us who said it, and what context it was said in. Sounds like your spreading a BS rumor to me.
Are you denying that the Japs started asking for testing, beginning in early 2004? :roll:

Mike I said Dr Evans of the CFIA.
Also the Chair of CBEF Ben Thorlakson in 2005 came to the SSGA convention and put forth a resolution the the SSGA membership supported to allow a trial run of "Testing for market acess".

BMR, this shows the problem of not having your own independent, Canadian processing industry! Tyson and Cargill bought it for pennies on the dollar!
