CBH is to open its Tambellup receival site to accept genetically modified canola this harvest, despite only five farmers in the shire of Broomehill-Tambellup growing GM crops. The move to accept deliveries of GM seed at Tambellup has raised eyebrows among local farmers who questioned why it was chosen over Cranbrook, which was used last year, especially if seed was to travel back through the Cranbrook townsite to the Albany port if sold onto the export market.
