Coarse Grains Plebiscite Declared Unneeded by MFA President
G F Habing, president of the Manitoba Federation of Agriculture and Co-operation, objects to Premier Campbell's plan for a plebiscite on marketing coarse grains. He notes strong farmer support for the Canadian Wheat Board's handling in 1949-50 and argues elected Manitoba farmers already approve of the Wheat Board, making the plebiscite unnecessary and likely controversial.
