CN Rail exec promising to speed up grain shipments into March

 
CN Rail has outlined steps to ramp up grain movement as quickly as possible for Saskatchewan farmers.
 
The transportation company’s Director of Grain Marketing, David Przednowek says February was a rather poor month for grain movement, averaging just 3400 hopper cars per week.
 
But he says additional locomotives and staff has been added to speed up grain shipments to 5000 hoppers car by the late stages of March.
 
“That includes temporarily restricting the flow of rail cars of commodities,” said Przednowek. “Except grain into the Edmonton-Winnipeg corridor.”

Video: EP 73 Diversity is Resiliency – Stories of Regeneration Part 6

During the growing season of 2023 as summer turned into fall, the Rural Routes to Climate Solutions podcast and Regeneration Canada were on the final leg of the Stories of Regeneration tour. After covering most of the Prairies and most of central and eastern Canada in the summer, our months-long journey came to an end in Canada’s two most western provinces around harvest time.

This next phase of our journey brought us to Cawston, British Columbia, acclaimed as the Organic Farming Capital of Canada. At Snowy Mountain Farms, managed by Aaron Goddard and his family, you will find a 12-acre farm that boasts over 70 varieties of fruits such as cherries, apricots, peaches, plums, pears, apples, and quince. Aaron employs regenerative agriculture practices to cultivate and sustain living soils, which are essential for producing fruit that is not only delicious but also rich in nutrients.
