Canadian and United slates wheat policies differ As Market factors features of the United states farm Oan plan and the Canadian policy of a minimum Price Are discussed in the weekly Survey of Jas. Rich Ardson sons. The review says Iri part the Canadian wheat Board Price will act both As a guaranteed mini mum Price and As an initial payment out of the proceeds of a government Pool. If the Board Sells its wheat for less on the average than its fixed buying Price the government by making Good the loss will in effect have distributed a subsidy to West Ern Farmers. On the other hand any profits will be paid Over to Farmers who delivered to. The boar ii. This minimum Price policy forms an interesting comparison with thie kind of assistance Given to United states wheat growers under the agricultural adjustment act. In general it May be observed that the Canadian government s Only Pur pose is to establish a limit below which farm prices cannot fall while United states government is using loan rates parity payments and soil conservation payments As a Means of bringing about adjust ment i.e., reduction of wheat acre age Only co operators Are eligible for full benefits under the aaa. Similarities of policies. Leaving aside this difference of purpose for the time being there Sre some superficial similarities Iri the operation of the two policies this year. From the growers Point of View a minimum Price is guaranteed in the United states by a loan without resource Sand in Canada by the Board s fixed Price. Both governments Are prepared to foot the Bill. Furthermore should prices Rise above these guaranteed Levels Farmers stand to Benefit under the United states plan wheat pledged As collateral can be repossessed at any time up to maturity of the loan and sold in the open Market. Under the Canadian plan participation certificates May become of value. Market Factor As Market factors however the loan and the min mum Price Are Likely to have quite different effects. In the United states Whiat pledged As collateral is sterilized and does not form part of the presently Avail Able Supply until either loan is repaid and the wheat repossessed by the Farmer or until the govern ment takes Over the wheat next Spring. In Canada on the other hand the intervention of the wheat Board need have Little effect on the availability of Canadian supplies As the Board is free to dispose of its purchases at any time and will not necessarily be influenced in its sell ing policy by Price fluctuations. Essentially the difference is this the Dominion government is inter ested primarily in maintaining farm income and not in raising prices to Consumers of Canadian wheat either at Home or abroad whereas the United states government Quot ing from Section 304 of the agricultural adjustment act is giving due regard to. The maintenance of a continuous and stable Supply of Agri cultural commodities from Domestic production adequate to meet con Sumer demand at prices fair to both producers and Consumers.
