NFU wants farm incomes raised CANADA - The National Farmers Union (NFU) wants the new Conservative government implementing policies to benefit family farmers. President of the NFU Stewart Wells says the Conservatives must follow through on the former gov- ernment's previously- announced $755 million emergency assistance to grain and oilseed farmers. Wells also says the Conservative campaign, which promises to replace the Canadian Agriculture Income Stabilization (CAIS) pro- gram with two separate plans for income stabilization and disaster relief, will be followed closely in the coming months. Wells says the Conservative promise to implement a Green Cover Crop Program with a com- pensation fund for farmers facing severe flood damage could poten- tially benefit farmers.
