A District 10 Manitoba Farmer's Union gathering with Dr J Slogan M P at Ukrainian Hall Beausejour drew a full crowd on Monday April 3. MFU backed by Mr R Usick urged rescinding the Feed Mills policy while Dr Slogan defended the government stance noting 698 million spent on agriculture versus 295 million by Liberals and promising to review legislation after a year if wheat board concerns persist. He warned continued inaction could alienate farmers while Usick argued feed mills threaten the wheat board and that farmers produce more yet receive less money.
