New Wheat Board Bill Warmer May Now Sell Under Two Plans
The House committee member John Vallance explains the new wheat board bill. A minimum price of 70 cents a bushel would require producers to choose selling to the board for possible extra payments or selling to the grain trade at a higher price. The price is fixed at crop year start and cannot be lowered, with no incentive to raise it during the year. The act differs from Argentina by allowing board purchases at the minimum price with no premium if profits are made. The bill would make the board permanent unless parliament acts to remove it, with Liberal support except for a one year term limit consideration.
