Grain Movement Improving

Grain movement has been improving over recent weeks.

Wade Sobkowich is the executive director with the Western Grain Elevator Association.

"Since the blockades ended, we've been going full force using as much capacity as we're provided by the railways, which has been good. Grain movements within the month of March have been high and we're pleased to see that. We've been able to bring down the grain vessels in Vancouver and Prince Rupert."

Sobkowich says penalties and demurrage costs at port have been decreasing as well.

Video: Syngenta Ag Stories - Reanna Hagel, Channel Marketing Manager

Growing up on a cow-calf operation and small feedlot near Lumby, BC, Reanna learned agriculture the hands-on way with her sister on the family farm. Today, as Channel Marketing Manager for Syngenta Canada, what Reanna loves most about her work is simple: the customer is always at the centre. Whether that's a grower or a channel partner, she understands them on a personal level - because she's the daughter of one. But for Reanna, supporting ag doesn't stop at her job. She volunteers with local 4-H clubs, lends a hand to her farming neighbours, and is raising her own kids to understand and respect the land. Her advice to the next generation? "It's an amazing time to be in the industry - it's going to look completely different in 20 years. To be part of the evolution is very exciting."
