Wheat Pools Transform Western Canadian Agriculture
Postwar prairie farmers built a strong co operative wheat pool system expanding to oats barley flax and rye with three provincial pools forming a central agency Canadian Co operative Wheat Producers Limited. By 1928 Alberta Saskatchewan and Manitoba pool members reach about 140 000 users delivering grain through a network of hundreds of elevators and contracts ensure delivery to pools and price stability via a centralized marketing plan. The move shifts supplier power from merchants to farmers and boosts regional economics.
