Cheques totaling 3 779 600 dollars are being mailed as the final payment by the Canadian Wheat Board on the 1954 55 oats crop. No Christmas bonus for farmers with unsold grain and further payments on last year’s crop are uncertain. Jama Schulz predicts the initial price may be all farmers receive for this year’s wheat, while board officials decline comment. The Wheat Board notes a large backlog from four bumper crops, with storage constraints and quotas limiting farm deliveries.
