Oat Growers Meet In Moose Jaw

The Prairie Oat Growers Association (POGA) is holding its 18th annual conference today in Moose Jaw.
 
POGA president Art Enns says overall the oat acreage across the Prairies has been holding, adding we've seen some decent prices. He notes there’s some good interest in the oat industry.
 
"We've got our transportation going back to normal and we've been able to get our product to the mills in the U.S. and into Mexico," he says. "Is it ideal yet? No, but it's been a vast improvement, which has really helped our industry to be able to focus on where to grow and where to move to."

We also get into the energy sector and what the cancellation of $300 billion in clean energy investments has done to rural communities. We’ll close with changes and lost efficiencies in food assistance benefits.
