CN delists Manitoba producer car sites hits 52 Prairie losses
NFU Vice-President Terry Boehm urges federal intervention after CN removes nine sites in Manitoba including Roblin and Makaroff and 52 across the Prairies. He says delistings strip farmers of affordable grain shipment options and asks Ottawa to restore producer car access and empower farmer input under the Canadian Transportation Act.

What exactly is the farmer's share in groceries
A 2008 study found the farmers share averaged 27 percent of a week's groceries for a family of four. Subsequent 2009 findings showed the share declined while overall grocery costs rose, with consumers paying $6.01 more and farmers earning $0.86 less, amid meat price shifts and industry restructuring concerns.
