Heney Can't Predict CWB Effect

It's a new era for grainhandling in Canada. Farmers have total control over how they sell their grain now that the Canadian Wheat Board has lost its monopoly. Thunder Bay Port Authority CEO Tim Heney says it will take time before we know if that will mean more grain through our port.  He says there will be change but it's difficult to predict what that change may be.  Heney says having the major grain companies located in Thunder Bay is a big plus.
