Grain Growers Discuss Impact of Carbon Tax
Jeff Nielson and Shane Stokke, the chair and vice-chair of Grain Growers of Canada, as well as Dean Toews of Manitoba Corn Growers, hold a news conference in Ottawa to outline challenges faced by farmers. They also discuss a private member's bill introduced by Conservative MP Philip Lawrence.
