A Canadian grain trader says a tentative resolution to the Great Lakes port strike is welcomed news for the agricultural industry.
Ken Whitelaw with Ontario-based Synergy Grain Trading tells Brownfield the eight-day stoppage in the Great Lakes St. Lawerence Seaway has been extremely disruptive.
“We have a small window every year, the seaway closes sometime in December and it’s not really until April that we see it open, so unfortunately with disruptions like this, you know, we just don’t have a way to make up lost time,” he shares.
