This week on The Back 40 we are joined by the Director of Trillium Mutual Insurance Pat Bushby. Pat has had a distinguished career in grain, working with Viterra and acting as President for the Grain Elevator and Processing Society. Mike and Pat kick off this week’s episode with discussion surrounding the grain industry. They then break down the impacts of the Russian war against Ukraine on various aspects of agriculture including the growing and transport of crops in these areas of strife. We finish the episode by breaking down the uncertain future of food security on the world stage.
