Marking grain to deter theft gains Manitoba support
Al Martin of Manitoba Agriculture urges identifiers on grain to prove ownership. Three firms offer marker papers that can be registered and tied to a farmer. One marker in a load can establish legal ownership, aiding court proof against thieves. Markers are injected as grain is handled, then registered with RCMP. Costs range 55 to 63 dollars per marker for large tonnages.
