Grain Farmers of Ontario lowers license fees

GUELPH, ON (June 28, 2012) – Grain Farmers of Ontario is pleased to announce that license fees will be lowered for the 2012 crop year.

Beginning July 1, 2012 the license fees paid for corn, soybeans and direct marketed wheat are as follows:

Corn $0.42/mT
Soybeans $1.42/mT
