The Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board's decision to provide a non-government organization with member information caused an uproar at the board's annual meeting in August. One producer has taken his concerns to Ontario's privacy commissioner. Another warns that other farm organizations better scrutinize how they handle private information. And the wheat board? It's meeting Thursday - in-camera - to further discuss the issue.

Corn, soybean and wheat farmers could be voting by late summer on whether they want one organization – Grain Farmers of Ontario – to represent them.
