The Manitoba farmers union reports early returns showing strong support for direct action to secure farm price justice. Ballots ask farmers to approve a buyers strike against selected products, including new cars, trucks, and farm machinery, initiated by the National Farmers Union. NFU officials meet to plan formal actions. NFU has discussed the idea with US farm groups and has gained support from North Dakota and Nebraska farmers unions.
