Why Does Grain Flow This Way?
Western Canada ships nearly 70 MMT of grain each year – a meticulous process that is often taken for granted when it runs smoothly but is a topic of focus when a challenge arises. Generally, the physical shipping of grain is something of a mystery to those who are not close to it on a daily basis.
In this year’s Grain World Conference, we will try to shed some light on this topic in the Why Does Grain Flow This Way panel, led by Thomas Hansmann, Managing Director atNavico Chartering Ltd. and David Przednowek, Director of Marketing – Grain at CN Railway.
What have you often wondered in respect to how grain flows? Submit your questions below and they will be forwarded to our panelists for discussion.
