Of course you're familiar with the prairie reality. There are some farms that are close to larger markets and there are many farms that simply aren't, whether it's our neighbours to the south, the U.S., or to major transportation hubs. The concern is that most prairie farmers are not sitting beside extensive local urban markets, and they produce hard red spring wheat and durum, best used for export.
Understanding that prairie reality, how do you think these farmers, whether they're in the northern parts of our provinces or far away from some of these centres, will fare in a system where they're no longer able to coordinate in such a way, and certainly in a system where for others it may be much easier to tap into the work of large agri-business?
