I work periodically with Winnipeg journalist Glenn Cheater, editor of Canadian Farm Manager, on an opinion piece for the CBC Commentary feature which appears on the Canadian Farm Business Management Council website. The latest commentary is published here, about determining a fair value for food. It's another story that came together as a result of the Agri-Food Innovation Forum in Toronto last month. You can read — and hear — the story here.
