Verwey says the timing of the strike and its potential impact is critical.
"If you're looking at the worst time of the season for something like this to happen it is definitely heading into harvest. Not a favorable time for this to happen."
She says we need to do everything we can to avoid a strike and is encouraging everyone to get involved in trying to reach out to federal MP's calling for a solution to get everyone back to work.
KAP and other ag commodity groups and organizations are calling on producers to take part in a major electronic letter campaign at #stopthestrike.ca calling on Ottawa to take action to stop the rail strike.
"Certainly those letters will go to the Minister of Labor, Prime Minister, Minister of Finance, as well as the Minister of Agriculture and their local MP. For our Manitoba producers if they are unsure of who their MP is, they can certainly reach out to our KAP office through kap.ca.
