Minnema files appeal

Rein Minnema, a gadfly hog producer, has filed an appeal against the Ontario Pork Producers Marketing Board.

The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Appeal Tribunal has set July 10 for a public hearing which will be held via video conference.

In recent years Minnema has pushed hard to get another pork packing plant for Ontario which has been chronically short and needing to export weaner pigs and market hogs to the United States or Brandon, Man.
