Western Grain Stabilization payout boosts agriculture economy
Winnipeg report says a $450 million injection under the Western Grain Stabilization Act will ripple through the economy. Agriculture economist Clay Gilson calls it timely and significant as Manitoba farmers prepare for spring seeding. Keystone Agricultural Producers vice-president Earl Geddes notes farmers will likely use funds for loans rather than savings. The payment covers the 1984-85 crop year and is the largest payout under the program, surpassing the previous $253 million high.
