I said we wanted the tariffs we had to pay last spring to access fertilizer, which was purchased and ordered in October and November 2021, to be eliminated.
We have had to do a lot of legwork to secure the supply of fertilizer for our producers. As a farmer-owned cooperative, we didn't want to have to tell our producers that we didn't have fertilizer for them this spring. We jumped through a lot of hoops and paid the tariffs to be able to buy fertilizer, but the producers are footing the bill. Unfortunately, it's the producers in eastern Canada who are bearing the cost. That's why we're asking for a refund of this spring's tariffs.
