Summary
Later this month, farmland owned by Monette Farms across Saskatchewan, Manitoba and British Columbia will be up for sale, in hopes of paying back the nearly $1B of debt it owes. André Magnan, a professor of sociology and social studies at the University of Regina with an interest in the sociology of agri-food systems, has been critical of the farm and thinks mega farms are likely to fail. He joins us now to discuss the latest news and what it could mean for farmland in Saskatchewan.
