马尼托巴省的农场游说团体敦促谷物汉dlers to consider reducing — or even eliminating — grain elevator fees in light of the immense financial strain the drought has put on producers, reportsGlobal News.

Keystone Agricultural Producersgeneral manager Brenna Mahoney says they’ve sent a letter to theWestern Grain Elevator Association(WGEA) to encourage its members to lower administrative fees during what has been “a really difficult year.”
