Farmers press for 1.1 billion aid to ease 1980 cash strain
Saskatchewan Wheat Pool and the provincial government push Ottawa to restore the cash-advance program with interest-free loans for the 1980 crop year. Prairie wheat pools estimate Western Canada needs about 1.1 billion in government aid to offset low grain prices from the US EC trade war, with Saskatchewan requesting 550 million and Manitoba and Alberta sharing the rest. Dauphin Swan River MP Brian White urges Mazankowski to waive interest on advances as surpluses loom and market prices stay weak.
