From the Bourque link on the Wheat Board, the NDP caucus website has the following statement: "Do the Vast Majority of Farmers Support the Wheat Board Monopoly? They Sure Do! About 75% of Farmers Support the Canadian Wheat Board."
(http://www.ndpcaucus.sk.ca/headline-361.html)
Read the survey summary. What the link says is that "Seventy-five per cent of farmers say a plebiscite or referendum among farmers is the most appropriate way to make fundamental changes to the CWB."
(http://www.cwb.ca/public/en/news/releases/2006/052406.jsp)
And then the actual support: "With regards to the so-called "dual-market," 47 per cent of respondents said they would prefer a system where private companies and individual farmers could compete with the CWB for wheat sales. This compared to 45 per cent who preferred the CWB single-desk system."
