Rapeseed Quotas Seen Rising for Farmers
Rapeseed quotas at country elevators are expected to rise as demand grows for oilseeds. Canadian Wheat Board Commissioner R M Esdale says delivery opportunities will be equal for rapeseed growers this crop year, aligning country elevator access with plant deliveries. Exports may top 463 million bushels for 1970-71, with potential rise to 80 million by next July 31. Domestic needs exceed 12 million bushels.
