Wheat outlook little changed for 1944 in Saskatchewan
Hadley Van Vliet of the University of Saskatchewan told Inter provincial dairy conference delegates that wheat prospects for 1944 show a tighter feed grain situation with prices near ceilings. He noted war-time gains in livestock production and predicted a gradual decrease in livestock demand with a favorable wheat market as surpluses shrink. A Saskatchewan Canadian Produce Association meeting approved a resolution urging a four-year floor price for poultry produce on a parity basis with other farm goods.
