Speech from the Combine: from Grain Growers of Canada
OLDS, AB. — The federal Speech from the Throne will be delivered tomorrow, September 23, and the Grain Growers of Canada (GGC) have released their own “Speech from the Combine.”
In a seven-minute video, GGC asks the government to support Canada’s grain industry, in order to drive post pandemic recovery.
GGC Chair, Jeff Nielsen, who voiced the Speech from the Combine from his farm in Olds, Alberta, says the video outlines six priority areas that require immediate attention in order to position the agriculture industry for success.
“At GGC we have long been advocating for these changes directly to the federal government, but now they are more important than ever,” he explained.
