grains policy
The federal government's new Feed Grains Policy becomes effective
August 1, 1974. Whether you area producer or user, the new policy
is designed to meet your needs by.:.
• providing a fair and equitable base price for feed grains across
Canada;
• encouraging growth of grain and livestock production according
to natural potential;
• maintaining order and stability throughout the grain and livestock
sectors.
MAIN FEATURES:.
• farmers will have direct access to feed grains in all parts of Canada;
buyers are free to shop for the best bargain, sellers are free to find
the best price for their crops;
•
• a nation-wide information system through the Canadian Livestock
Feed Board will keep everyone informed on selling prices across
the country;
• the Canadian Wheat Board will continue to be the sole buyer and
seller of feed grain for export market;
• prairie producers have the choice of selling their grain to the CWB
or to others on the domestic market; • .
• cash advance payments and initial payments, similar to those
provided to Prairie grain producers f6r many years, will be extended
to growersaacross the country to encourage feed grain production;
• a new storage program,. costing the federal government $40 million
a year, will be instituted to provide for security of supplies for
Canadian markets; it will also lead to additional grain storage on
the West Coast, in inland terminals, on the Great Lakes and the
St. Lawrence and in the Maritimes;
• steps will be taken to bring- into balance freight rates between' meat
and grain; this will progress according to trends in grain and
livestock prices, and the degree of regional self-sufficiency in
grain production.
