Richardson ships first wheat from Churchill since end of Wheat Board monopoly
Richardson International Limited has loaded a vessel of wheat in the Port of Churchill, its first wheat vessel to be loaded and shipped out of the northern Manitoba port following the enactment of the Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act.
The MV New Legend Pearl is on route to Colombia with 27,500 metric tonnes of No. 2 Canadian Western Red Spring wheat, originating from Richardson Pioneer elevators in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Further shipments of various grains and oilseeds out of Churchill are being planned by Richardson for the remainder of the shipping season.
