According to Gerry Ritz, the Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board, now is the time to hammer out real options for marketing choice.

Minister Ritz is calling on the Board to sit down with industry groups, producers, grain handlers, and malting companies to discuss the future of the barley industry.

 

According to David Anderson, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Canadian Wheat Board Minister, the Board is telling the maltsters they aren't going to sell them any more new crop malting barley unless they sign onto the new program.
