CGC pays out $1.2 million in compensation for unpaid deliveries to Zeghers Canada

Jul 24, 2024

The Canadian Grain Commission has finished reviewing producer compensation claims for unpaid deliveries to Zeghers Seed Inc. (operating as Zeghers Canada).

The company held a grain dealer licence and a primary elevator licence for an elevator located in Holland, Manitoba.

Producers who were not paid for grain delivered to Zeghers Seed Inc. will be fully compensated for their eligible claims through the Canadian Grain Commission’s Safeguards for Grain Farmers Program.

The Canadian Grain Commission will issue full compensation for 27 eligible claims totalling over $1.2 million from the company’s security to these producers.

The CGC revoked the licences of Zeghers Seed Inc. on March 25, 2024.

Chief Commissioner David Hunt says the Canadian Grain Commission is committed to ensuring producers are fairly compensated for their deliveries.

"Our Safeguards for Grain Farmers Program plays a key role in securing payments for producers, and we are pleased to be able to provide 100% coverage of eligible claims for unpaid deliveries to Zeghers Seed."

Video: EP 65 Grazing Through Drought

Welcome to the conclusion of the Getting Through Drought series, where we look at the best management practices cow-calf producers in Alberta can use to build up their resiliency against drought.

Our hope is that the series can help with the mental health issues the agriculture sector is grappling with right now. Farming and ranching are stressful businesses, but that’s brought to a whole new level when drought hits. By equipping cow-calf producers with information and words of advice from colleagues and peers in the sector on the best ways to get through a drought, things might not be as stressful in the next drought. Things might not look so bleak either.

In this final episode of the series, we are talking to Ralph Thrall of McIntyre Ranch who shares with us his experience managing grass and cows in a pretty dry part of the province.
