A deal to ship Winnipeg-built tractors to Australia has resulted in a lawsuit after Buhler Versatile decided to stop exports outside North America, according to a statement of claim filed in Manitoba’s Court of Kings Bench.
A federal Crown corporation signed a guarantee in 2020 to back up half of a $14-million loan to Buhler Industries, a Winnipeg-based farm equipment manufacturer that has been under scrutiny after comments from a now-resigned director in support of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
