Manitoba to oppose federal feed grains policy stance
Manitoba premier Ed Schreyer vowed a strong fight against the proposed federal feed grains policy calling it unacceptable to western provinces. The province announced measures to set off-board grain prices based on North American corn and Thunder Bay wheat, a move expected to raise beef pork eggs and milk prices by at least thirty percent. Schreyer criticized Otto Lang as pushing a policy that would make western farmers patsies for eastern livestock producers.
