Surplus Of Feed Grain In Canada Must Be Moved
Ottawa. Agriculture Minister Gardiner told the House of Commons Canada faces a large feed grain surplus, mostly in the west, with movement to the United States hampered by transport constraints. He cited plans to move up to 200 million bushels, but noted only about half that amount could be moved. He urged cooperation from newspapers and transport for markets or storage and discussed wheat board pricing and subsidies totaling over 1.9 billion dollars for farm support in 1942.
