  The U.S. Grains Council was very pleased and happy to have Harry Siemens speak at our conference held in Montreal. Harry was humorous while providing insight to our audience about agriculture in Canada. He discussed policy between Canada and the U.S. and was generally very informative to our audience. Harry was just the right type of speaker for the lunch slot – light at times but heavy when necessary; educational but not bogged down in the details. We’d be happy to have him speak to our members again. Cheri Johnson You are doing a great job and very useful service to the Agricultural Sector. I like the fact you cover the most up-to-date and presently important topics and problems in a brief way that makes reading the newsletter very interesting. Khalid Rashid |
