Parity Prices Face Uphill Battle in Alberta Agriculture
Calgary CP Roy C Marler head of the Alberta Federation of Agriculture says parity prices for farm products are nearly impossible due to shifting production conditions and yield factors. He notes U S parity programs caused surpluses and withdrawals of support and discusses international agreements and price levels for Canadian farmers. The AFA closed its year with a small surplus on a $35 022 budget and lists 56 affiliated bodies. Marler argues Alberta farmers are well equipped to meet current economic problems and calls for careful handling of international wheat agreements and potential price escalator clauses.
