N F U Meeting Held in Miniota Discusses Cargill Power
The National Farm Union gathering at Miniota Community Centre on October 2 focused on cattle market disparities, Cargill influence, and land use in Manitoba. Roy Atkinson warned of power corporation control over grain and meat sectors, citing Cargill’s 1974 75 world wheat export share of 1.3 billion bushels and contrasting with the Canadian Wheat Board’s 395 million. Brad McDonald urged public discussion via Beef Fact Finding Commission while Evelyn Potter noted South American grass fed cattle pricing, and Roy Atkinson warned against stubble burning to prevent soil erosion. Over 50 members attended the meeting chaired by Harold Proven.
