CWB president and CEO Ian White discusses the path ahead

The head of the Canadian Wheat Board says farmer pools will be a mainstay of the company's operations in the years ahead. Ian White says farmers and customers are expressing a lot of interest in doing business with the CWB.

White, who is president and CEO of the CWB, says his company will fill an important gap for farmers in the new grain-marketing landscape.

White says government support has made it possible for the CWB to begin operating in the new environment and prepare for privatization.

White says the CWB will work closely with grain companies to ship grain and accept deliveries from farmers.
