His wife received six months electronic monitoring and probation. The operation ran from January 1992 to September 1993 with 11,000 plants valued at $3 to $8.5 million.

Elevator wars over UGG bid split Prairie grain minds
Peter Holle argues the Alberta and Manitoba Wheat Pools seek to buy United Grain Growers to force a monopoly, dampen a rival, and control 70 percent of the market. He notes UGG's push for free markets, its 18 percent West grain traffic share, and potential defenses including a 15 percent share trigger for a partial offer to shareholders.
