The work stoppage at the Canadian National Railway (CN Rail) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) will adversely affect feed grain sales and deliveries, according to one grain broker.
An ongoing lack of demand has forced feed grain prices to drop back recently, according to Darcy Haley, vice-president of AgValue Brokers in Lethbridge.
Glen Loyns, trader and general manager for JGL Commodities in Moose Jaw, Sask., said while the recent heat and dryness has reduced yield expectations, prospects of a decent harvest are still putting pressure on prices.
