Wheat Board Sets Price for Western Canada Crop
The 1938-39 Western Canadian wheat crop will have a minimum price of 80 cents per bushel for No 1 Northern wheat, with other grades priced on that base. Prime Minister Mackenzie King said the policy avoids hoarding or monopoly and moves wheat to market, reflecting compensation for drought and poor yields in recent years. If weather stays favorable, farmers may see a stronger year than the past five to seven, despite last year’s lower 87 12 cent peg.
