Rural Municipal Councils and commodity markets unusal reactions

Rural ratepayers will go to the polls this fall to pick their representatives on their local rural municipal councils. Making the decision to put your name on the ballot should not be taken lightly. It's not an easy job but it can be a rewarding experience according to the president of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities. In my conversation with Ray Orb we'll learn about how these rural councils are the  voice of farming communities and why he has stayed involved on his local council for 35 years.   There is nothing normal about 2020.  Even the commodity markets have reacted differently this summer. Exceed Grain Marketing senior analyst Wayne Palmer will explain why the markets have moved upward when they are usually quite stagnant at the start of harvest. He'll also dive into the latest Statistics Canada report that shows Canadian farmers will harvest more wheat, corn for grain, barley and oats this fall compared with last year, but less canola and soybeans. AND he'll tell us if those reports are right or wrong.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
