Wheat Crop Financing Plan Is Arranged
Ottawa reports that the federal government banks and western pools have arranged financing for pool shares of the new crop and will back the pools with government support. An initial payment of about 35 cents a bushel again appears likely, with carryovers around 80 million bushels and no selling to crash world prices. Delegates led by Premier Brownlee and Premier Bracken did not press for a Canadian wheat board, which Bennett’s government opposes.
