Farmers across eastern Ontario and Quebec have been cut off from propane deliveries with no warning as industry reacts, stockpiles and prioritizes delivery thanks to a CN strike which is just beginning.
The situation is worsened by a government which won’t sit until December and thus can’t address any back-to-work legislation. It adds an exclamation mark to the harvest from hell where farmers are having to roll the dice: watch your already high moisture crop disintegrate in the field, or stockpile it and risk it rotting in storage.
Elevator operators and farmers alike are “panicking, stressing, over what’s going to happen. They made some investments in the last five, six years to put in new dryers and they had customer lists that were wanting to combine,” Wilson said.
