Value of Bread Policy Shifts Wheat Pricing in Canada
Transport Minister Otto Lang announced millers will pay market price for wheat up to 5.00 per bushel. In 1973 Canada adopted a two price wheat policy to subsidize consumers with lower miller prices while ensuring a domestic floor, with subsidies via the Wheat Board if prices rose above 3.25. The federal treasury covered the difference up to 5 per bushel.

Wheat policy lifts floor and cuts ceiling on prices
Federal move raises producer floor to 4 per bushel from 3.25 and removes the 8.25 ceiling for millers. Officials forecast bread price rises of about 35 cents per loaf, with industry groups predicting 7.5 to 12.5 cents more. Cost pressures like inputs and milling replaceables push up the loaf price. The International Grains Institute estimates flour yield from a bushel of 60 pounds bread wheat yields about 72 sixteen ounce loaves, with a 3.25 to 4.95 price swing implying a 2.3 cent per loaf flour cost. A government spokesman says potential savings of at least $100,000,000 on the two-price policy.
