The Rural Voice, 1993-12, Page 17out of spite over Canadian grain im- ports. And quotas under the seldom used Section 22 of the U.S. Agricul- tural Adjustment Act might just do it. Well, as we said ... it's mostly U.S. politics. Canadian wheat shipments to the U.S. don't represent one per cent of their production. Following the recent Canadian election U.S. Agricultural Secretary Espy was asked about his position on the request to impose quotas on Canadian wheat, and his reply was "I am leaving that decision up to the President." Finally, if the U.S. does impose quota on durum, then the U.S. pasta makers can always move to Canada. The big millers already have. Prior to the FTA Canadian -owned compa- nies controlled 81 per cent of the flour milling capacity. Since the FTA was signed U.S. firms such as A.D.M., Robin Hood and Conagra have gained control of 70 per cent of the Canadian flour milling capacity.0 Robert Mercer is editor of the Broadwater Market Letter, a weekly commodity and policy advisory letter from Goodwood, Ontario LOC IAO. can•con WHOM COW MATS Consider the facts .. . • Comfort • Cleanliness • Cost • Durability • Safety Rubber Cow Mats 4' x 6' x 3/4' Call Now!
