CWB is accepting farmer deliveries of grain at its export terminal at Thunder Bay, Ont.
Due to grain movement challenges, the company is offering producers in the eastern Prairies the opportunity to deliver CWB pool and cash contracts via truck directly to Mission Terminal in Thunder Bay.
A round trip from Winnipeg to Thunder Bay is roughly 1,500 kilometres.
Under the program, producers arrange and pay for their own trucking. Deliveries will be accepted Monday through Friday between 8 am and 4 pm.
Deliveries must be scheduled with Mission Terminal before arrival.
