NFU denounces 18 percent grain price drop and calls for action
NFU President Wayne Easter blasts Mayer for re announcing $1.3 billion in aid after an 18% initial grain price decline. He warns of income shortfalls for western farmers and urges immediate target price deficiency payments funded by the federal treasury to cushion producers. The plan would pay the gap between initial and target prices, with refunds depending on price movements.
