New CWB Program Offers Farmers Premiums for Wheat Shipped Through Churchill
Winnipeg, MB. - The CWB will pay premiums and storage payments to farmers in the Churchill catchment area for wheat stored on-farm for shipment through the northern Manitoba port.
“The timing of the Churchill shipping season requires a large volume of grain grown the previous summer to move out from the country as early as the beginning of July, ” said Greg Arason, CWB CEO and president. “This program is designed to ensure that grain is on hand so farmers can benefit from the freight savings that Churchill offers.”
