Deficiency payments urged by Manitoba agriculture head
P. E. Burnell, president of the Manitoba Federation of Agriculture and Co operation, called for more use of deficiency payments to support producer income. The plan would apply to individual products, target perishables, and scenarios where a commodity averages under 80 percent of a fair level for two years or more or delivery impairments. Deficiency payments do not affect market prices or encourage surpluses, and they would work under Wheat Board marketing arrangements. It is described as the simplest method.
