What's Ahead for the Sask Wheat & Barley Commissions — Tom Steve

by

These are exciting times for farmers, as new cereal commissions, associations and industry groups crop up (sorry) offer farmers the chance to forge the path ahead for the wheat and barley industry’s market development.

Alberta was the first province to set up a development commission following the dismantling of the Canadian Wheat Board’s monopoly powers in August of 2012. Manitoba is just now gearing up, and Saskatchewan is somewhere in between the two groups.
