Barley Plebiscite Debate Divides Canadian Farmers
Farmers face a hard choice as pro and anti CWB groups push views on barley marketing. CFIB survey shows 75 percent of agri business members want market freedom outside the Boards control with support for single desk selling varying 5.3 to 30.1 percent across provinces. A Wheat Board study claims $80 million more goes to farmers selling through the Board, a figure contested by opponents who question timing and impact on future wheat policy.
