Wheat Board Advisory Committee meets in August
Donn Mitchell reports the Wheat Board Advisory Committee met on August 15 with ten members three commissioners and senior staff present. They note producer deliveries may hit a record, flax and rape quotas not extended, and exports near the 1972 73 peak. Transportation shows a July upswing but slows again due to the Churchill strike. Thunder Bay and Vancouver unaffected. A motion urged Otto Lang to help settle Churchill, while car availability remains tight and extra hopper cars scarce. Grain prices sit steady and global crop conditions seem average. The committee considers meeting the Eastern Livestock Feed Board, and names the quota review group and District Two candidate Bill Strath of Souris with Manitoba Pool Elevators endorsement.
