CN commits to be better when it comes to grain movement

Mar 08, 2018

Farmers in Saskatchewan are encouraged by a promise from CN Rail to pick up efforts to move grain to market this winter.

CN Rail is taking steps to improve grain movement by adding extra trains and more staff.

Saskatchewan Pulse Growers Director, Lee Moats is encouraged by the promise from CN rail.

“Clearly they have some human resource problems and if not some problems with equipment,” he said.

“it sounds like a pretty significant challenge for them, but we’re hopeful and at least this shows that they’re taking action and taking this issue seriously,” Moats said.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
