Manitoba economist questions impact of wage price controls
Dr. L. R. Rigaux of the University of Manitoba says farmers will be only slightly affected by the federal wage and price control program. He told about 60 attendees at the university’s agricultural economics conference that the policy may slow cost increases for inputs like machinery and fertilizer, while farm product prices and grain markets remain largely determined by external factors.

Canadian scientists speed crop variety release with southern nurseries
Agriculture Canada researchers grow buckwheat in Florida and corn in Hawaii while testing mustards in New Zealand and rapeseed in Chile. By planting two crops yearly, they halve release time. Two Canadian crop specialists travel to California each autumn to multiply seed from 36 breeders, using a winter nursery near the Mexican border. The program accelerates rust-resistant flax and other varieties, enabling faster seed production and quicker on-farm deployment.
