Prairie farmers face four year struggle for parity with U S
Lorne Hehn of United Grain Growers told 256 delegates Prairie farmers may need four more years to return to competitive finances with American farmers. He cited debt buildup in the 1970s and limited debt forgiveness in the Prairies versus large U.S. debt settlements and farm income program payouts. Hehn noted debt income ratios and net income as a share of gross income show U.S. farmers consistently outperform Prairie farmers through 1990.
