“We are happy to hear that a tentative agreement has been reached. With the strike leading into its second week, farmers across Nova Scotia were beginning to feel the impact. Propane shortage, transportation challenges and complications receiving livestock feed ingredients, were some of the major implications at play,” said Victor Oulton, President of the Nova Scotia Federation of Agriculture.
“This time of year, rail transportation is especially important to Nova Scotia’s Christmas tree farmers as they utilize the rail to ship their trees around the globe. We look forward to business resuming as usual at CN Rail tomorrow morning.”
