Manitoba Beef Price Hikes Under Five Year Contract
Agriculture Minister Jim Downey announced 1978 support prices of 67 cents per pound for calves and 51 cents for slaughter animals under the Manitoba Beef Producers Income Assurance Plan. The increases reflect prior cost of production formulas, with April 1 1978 as the new slaughter price start date. He warned contracts prevent excessive refunds to the province except interest charges, and noted producers may still face payments to government if calves are marketed.
