Saskatchewan Farmers Call for Trade to Boost Markets
A Saskatchewan farmers association urges Canada to expand grain exports and reduce subsidies footprints. They challenge a NFU paper arguing subsidies fail to affect prices, citing 1998 export figures, rising U.S. demand, and the value of trade agreements. They warn isolationist NFU views threaten rural Canada.
