Lack Of Infrastructure Is Costing Canadian Farmers

Feb 07, 2017

A lack of inland infrastructure and port capacity is costing Canadian farmers money.
 
That from Thomas Mielke, executive director of global research and analysis with Oilworld - an independent forecasting service based out of Hamburg, Germany.
 
Mielke told the crowd at Ag Days last month that there is demand for Canadian canola meal and seed, however that demand can't be satisfied due to a lack of infrastructure.
 
"Farmers are reacting to the pricing that's in the world market by expanding production," he said. "It is important that the infrastructure develops in the same way."

We are taking students out to southern Manitoba to Hespler Farms! Farmer Wayne will teach students how he plants and cares for his potato crop and why potatoes are such a unique crop to grow. Teachers, check out your AITC Dashboard for Math'd Potatoes, a potato-themed classroom resource to pair with this tour video. Thank you to Peak of the Market and Penner Farm Services for making this event possible.
