Farmers' shrinking share of the grocery bill AND Oustanding young farmers

Grocery Prices are Rising. But the farmers' share continues to shrink. National Farmers Union Vice President Stewart Wells says corporate processors and retailers are the ones benefiting. Wells will explain consumers need to know that less and less of the money they spend on food actually makes it back to the farmer and retail food prices are high because meat packers, other large processors, and big retailers are taking ever larger shares. Canada's Outstanding Young Farmers were announced at a special event recently. Jenny Butcher and Wes Kunz run a dairy operation in the Brantford, Ontario region. Raymond and Tracey Bredenhoff are from Abbotsford, BC. and have a 40-thousand broiler per cycle chicken operation and are also the largest distributors of Canadian grown hops. We'll hear from both families about winning the award and the successes and challenges they've faced this year.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
