Farmers participating in the Canadian Grain Commission’s Harvest Sample Program may need to find other ways to submit their grain if Canada’s current postal strike drags on.
In a note pinned to the top of the program’s official website, the CGC noted that the strike was causing mail delays with the program.
Farmers were urged to, if possible, deliver their samples directly to the CGC, either at their head office in downtown Winnipeg, another CGC office or service centre, or another approved drop off site.
Service centres are located in Saskatchewan (Saskatoon and Weyburn), Manitoba (Churchill).
Besides CGC offices, drop off sites have been arranged at:
BroadGrain Commodities Inc. – Dafoe, Sask.
All Paterson Grain elevators in Alberta, Saskatchewan or Manitoba
Farmers may also choose to keep their sample until the strike ends.
