Minimum price for new wheat set at 80 cents
Ottawa Western farmers are assured of a fixed minimum price of 80 cents a bushel for No 1 northern wheat for deliveries from the new crop. Prime Minister Mackenzie King announced after a cabinet meeting that the price is recommended by the wheat board and will be defended by government policy to sell Canadian wheat at world prices without hoarding. The plan could result in losses if futures fall but may yield profits if prices rise, with farmers choosing between board sales or higher private cash prices.
