Black swans, bright spots, and lessons learned in 2020

| 1 min read

On this episode of Between the Rows, host Gord Gilmour sits down with a panel of Glacier FarmMedia editors and discusses how the pandemic has affected Canadian agriculture. What were the expected outcomes? What were the black swans? Where were the bright spots? Have lessons been learned? Are there lessons that still need to sink in? Plus, Phil Franz-Warkentin of MarketsFarm joins us to talk about the topsy-turvy world that was grain transportation in 2020. From mudslide and blockades grinding the system to a halt early in the year to a triumphant fall and early winter shipping program, this is the year that had it all.
