In an interview with CBC's Peter Armstrong, host of CBC News Network's On The Money, Boehm said "Our experience with mergers, whether it be in herbicide manufacturers, seed companies, etc., has always led to higher costs to the farmer as we have very little power to negotiate as individual farmers, or even as small collectives, ...with these behemoths that are being formed."
