January 3. '
Saunders said the new,
system is "not a lot differ*.
ent than the old fluid quota
system we had a few years
back. •
As of August 7,, farmers•
will divide their existing
annual quota by 3.65 to
achieve 'their•:daily quota

administered. monthly,
rather`' than' the 'current.

"Currently,.'if you : are
within .your quota and

quota, you help finance

over quota you get world

The system includes
some tuilt-in ., credits;.

have .underproduction

The credit system
replaces the old over quota
.levy system, ,. which
.focused on penalizing,
over -producers,; rather
than rewarding those who
stay within quota.
-The system will also
ease inter -provincial trade
of quota, with provinces
like Quebec and New'
Brunswick, `which are
already on the system.
