Farmers May Decide to Enter Milling Business
Saskatoon Saskatchewan Canadian interview with George H. Williams vice-president of United Farmers of Canada Saskatchewan section. He argues the current wheat grading system robs farmers and envisions cooperative farming where farmers mill their own wheat to control produce and eliminate under grading and mixing. He praises the new commission but says true cure requires farmers controlling the process to the consumer, potentially via pooling into milling. He notes high yielding wheat can grade low due to appearance yet yield quality flour for consumers.
