The first prize goes to the person who can explain the mechanism built into the original Crow Rate agreement to review the freight rates for farmers. I believe there was. Maybe it's time farmers had our hand at the negotiation table.
The second prize goes to the person who can tell how much per metric tonne it costs to travel by hopper car from Saskatoon to Vancouver.
The third prize is awarded for knowing how much money the Western Grains Research Association has in reserve. With a comment, please, if that amount is sufficient for them to go beyond production research and begin to do policy research for farmers.
Off to pay my respects to TOM4CWB. Hope the marketing freedom tribe is there.
Time for the industry to focus a little on policy.
