Grain Movement Improving

Grain movement has been improving over recent weeks.

Wade Sobkowich is the executive director with the Western Grain Elevator Association.

"Since the blockades ended, we've been going full force using as much capacity as we're provided by the railways, which has been good. Grain movements within the month of March have been high and we're pleased to see that. We've been able to bring down the grain vessels in Vancouver and Prince Rupert."

Sobkowich says penalties and demurrage costs at port have been decreasing as well.

Before trade and tariffs dominated the conversation, taxation was one of the biggest issues on farmers’ minds last year. From the carbon tax to capital gains, OFA worked with the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and provincial partners to push for fair, practical solutions. We saw progress on carbon tax relief and capital gains, and we continue to advocate for modernized farm tax programs at both the provincial and federal levels.

OFA works to represent the interests of Ontario farmers to all levels of government. Renew your Farm Business Registration (FBR) by March 1/26 and choose OFA so we can continue to support Ontario farmers and their businesses.
