Western grains policy approved by federation delegates
Western members of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture won national approval Tuesday for a package grains policy. It includes an income stabilization fund with government and farmer contributions, a one cent per bushel levy for development and research, and a push to replace the International Grains Arrangement with a price range supported by major exporters. Delegates call for a 6 to 1 government to farmer contribution ratio and the fund would pay farmers when incomes fall below the five year average, with payments based on the best three of five years.
