Five Eastern farm groups call for fertilizer reimbursementAGovernment has not found a way to directly reimburse producers. Ottawa—The $34 million in tariffs that farmers in Central and Eastern Canada paid on Russian fertilizer in the spring should be reimbursed directly to them, five farm groups say. The tariffs collected from farmers should not be a cost borne by them as part of growing food, said the Ontario Bean Growers, Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario, Grain Farmers of Ontario, Atlantic Grains Council and Grain Growers of Quebec. “Farmers can provide information on the tariff monies they paid and can be reimbursed directly,” the groups said in a statement. I know that is not exactly a rebate to each individual and each business.”It is technically not possible to directly rebate every dollar that was paid.
