KAP District Meetings Underway

Farmers will have the opportunity to voice their concerns over the next couple of weeks at one of Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP) district meetings.
 
"Out of these meetings we see resolutions from districts that are formulated and submitted to the annual meeting in January," said KAP President Doug Chorney. "This really forms the working plan for our organization going forward."
 
One of the issues being discussed is delays with rail transportation, which Chorney says is starting to become a problem once again.
 
"It's just a challenge, getting the railways to provide consistent, reliable service for grain transportation and I don't think that's going to go away quickly," he said.
 
Another topic was the formation of a flood task force that was announced by the province during last week's throne speech. The goal is to come up with innovative ways to help producers struggling with excess moisture.
 
"We know that water is a big issue for Manitoba, it has been historically and is more so today than ever before," said Chorney. "It's not just excessive water, there's water scarcity issues as well and drought resilience that needs to be talked about."
 
KAP district meetings are being held through to December 9, 2014.
