 All grains and oilseed farmers in all regions of Canada require a flexible system that allows them take advantage of marketing opportunities like local farmer-owned value added processing plants, and niche markets (e.g., organic grains, identity preserved marketing programs). This policy objective applies to all Canadian grains and oilseed farmers, including western wheat and barley producers in the Canadian Wheat Board's (CWB) designated region.
The Grain Growers of Canada do not want to see an end to the CWB. However, the Board should not be the only marketing and risk management option available to western wheat and barley farmers.
