Cattle Floor Price Said Working as Well as Expected
Regina reports that the western Canadian cattle floor price system is functioning with producer cooperation. Agriculture Minister Gardiner urged farmers to hold cattle on farms until the American embargo lifts and noted ministerial visitors in Winnipeg and Regina addressing pricing and marketing issues. Dr. Shaw said the floor price offers farmers security to retain cattle, with U.S. market prospects improving as the embargo nears lifting.
