Alberta Farmers Gain Six Million From Wheat Price Rise
Alberta farmers could gain about six million dollars over five years from higher domestic wheat prices as Ottawa raised the price milled for flour and feed from 1.25 to 1.552 a bushel. An estimated sixty million extra bushels may be needed domestically, with Alberta contributing roughly a third of the 1946 crop. Prices for milled feed rise 33.5 cents a bushel, while farmers receiving feed subsidies on lower grades remain. An additional ten million eight hundred seventy five thousand dollars will be shared among western farmers due to the same 30-cent increase, per Trade Minister MacKinnon.
