Profarmer analyst Dennis Wise on ABC's Country Hour - Monday, 13 March:

Profarmer believes the single desk will be modified to allow companies other than AWB to export wheat but the extent of the changes will depend on grower and industry lobbying.

Profarmer's Dennis Wise says it is important the changes do not only satisfy political interests.

"Whatever model is developed is a commercial model and not one merely designed to satisfy the political whims of the day," he said.

"Of course there's a huge amount of balancing between grower interests, and the interests of some of the marketers, between Liberals and Nationals and so it goes. There's always going to be compromise, after all it's politics."
