Farmers should have known it was a scam when the board wasn’t broken up, just privatized.

That part was definitely strange. When Ontario gave up its single desk the Ontario Wheat Board (now Grain Farmers of Ontario) stayed the course, just without the single desk requirement. The pool is still active if one chooses to join.

The CWB didn't even need to be broken up. It could have continued as normal, except without the single desk requirement.
