Beet policy disappoints PAUL STRICKLAND
The 11.8 million sugar beet program announced by Agriculture Minister John Wise and Wheat Board Minister Charlie Mayer offers an interim stabilization payment in late May or June based on 1986 production, with a later final payment. It excludes stabilization for 1983 and 1984 and aims to evolve into a 1987 tripartite program funded by federal, provincial, and grower contributions.
