Buyers and traders anticipate a major injection of grain, which would help tamp down food inflation and stabilize a global food system that has been reeling from drought and the war in Ukraine. But Canada’s top grain companies are nervous they won’t be able to get shipments to port as quickly as they want in the coming months, judging from a stream of excuses now coming from the railroads, according to the grain industry’s main lobby.
As part of the grain plan, CN warned, in bold, that it expects total demand for rail service between Edmonton and the West Coast ports of Vancouver and Prince Rupert “will exceed network capacity during some weeks” this fall and into early 2023. Przednowek said CN is only one part of the supply chain, and movement on the railroad can be impacted by delays outside of its control, including bad weather and delays at port. “There’s a limit to how much the supply chain can handle,” he said. “If it all wants to get pointed in one direction, it’s not going to fit.”
I'm just really glad it's a bumper harvest. The world is going to need it.
Being railways are overloaded with oil and gas and limits other goods being able to be transported, build corn/grain pipelines and deliver it that way.
This a federal government responsibility... Where are they ?
Easy. Stop planting so many bumpers.
