Mayer Pushes Decentralized Agriculture Policy Across Canada
Canadian minister Mayer argues for broad input in farming policy, citing the Special Canadian Grains Program and $1 billion aid distribution as examples. He notes more direct government support, including the Western Grain Stabilization Act and tax removals, with spending rising 52 percent in two years and potential 50 percent growth next year. He says international talks aim to reduce subsidies and cites Tokyo and GATT efforts leading to price cuts in Europe and ongoing US Farm Bill review.
