David Hunt, the new Chief Commissioner of the Canadian Grain Commission, is well known and respected in Manitoba agricultural circles, where he has worked in both the private sector and with Manitoba Agriculture for many years.
He’s less well-known west of the Manitoba-Saskatchewan border, so I popped by the CGC’s headquarters today to do an intro interview with the new CC.
I asked him to introduce himself, describe his eclectic background in ag, how he viewed his role vis a vis farmers, and what priorities he has as he eases into the job, which he has officially had for just four days now.
Watch the video to see what he said.
