UGG Warns Subsidies May Be Sought
The United Grain Growers board warns the grain industry may need federal subsidies if rising prices persist. A resolution to be submitted calls for using UGG influence against price hikes and urges earlier higher initial payments to the Canadian Wheat Board. President A M Runciman cites rising machinery and fertilizer costs as pressuring farmers, with bumper crops currently masking cash costs.

Final Payment On 65 Wheat Largest Ever
Canada completes its 1965 wheat sale and enables the final payment to western farmers to reach a record level. Finance Minister Mitchell Sharp stated payments will come earlier than in past years but would not commit to a date. The move factors into Wheat Board deliberations on higher initial 1966-67 prices set last July at 1.50 per basket for No. 1 Northern wheat. No decision or timing on interim payment increases was made.

Saskatchewan lawyer farmer J B Thomson told the United Grain Growers meeting that readily available farm credits have raised land prices. He cited loan ceilings rising from 15 000 to 40 000 and warned that high debt makes profits thin as interest and taxes bite into per acre costs. He operates at Eston and lectures at the University of Saskatchewan.
