Farmers complain as wheat delays anger many farmers
Farmers voiced frustration over delayed wagons and plugged elevators that delay cash income. They recalled being asked to defer wheat deliveries a year earlier and say railways, especially the Canadian Pacific, have let them down again.

The final phasing out of the federal hog premium will begin December 31 1970 following the 1968 shift to a new hog grading system that rewards higher quality carcasses. The move, announced early to aid planning, aims to boost lean meat yields, raise farm returns, and improve Canadian pork’s export competitiveness. A Manitoba guide to swine rations and feeding methods is released, detailing practical formulations, feeding methods, supplements, and seed analyses. A Manitoba 4H group will attend a western Canadian Young People’s Seminar in Alberta at Goldeye Lake Camp.
