Canadian Wheat Board chair George Mediver told the Commons agriculture committee that Marshall plan aid is forcing traditional buyers to switch to American supplies, narrowing Canada’s wheat sales. World wheat carryover rose to 867 million bushels. price rules under the 1948 49 International Wheat Agreement set a floor of 1.54 and ceiling of 1.98 per bushel as London negotiations begin.
