Producers who were not paid for grain delivered to Zeghers Seed will be compensated through the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC).

The payment totals over $1.2 million from the company’s security to these producers. Producers will receive 100 per cent compensation for their eligible claims for unpaid deliveries.

Following a review of individual producer claims, CGC determined there were 27 eligible claims for unpaid deliveries, according to CGC Chief Commissioner David Hunt.

“CGC is committed to ensuring producers are fairly compensated for their deliveries,” Hunt said in a statement. “Our Safeguards for Grain Farmers Program plays a key role in securing payments for producers, and we are pleased to be able to provide 100 per cent coverage of eligible claims for unpaid deliveries to Zeghers Seed.”
