add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the Canadian wheat pool, a cooperative organization of wheat farmers of the prairie provinces. The organization is facing crisis of its life, brought on by the severe drop in wheat prices. The pool carried out its program of "orderly marketing," as it construes the term. But now, with the biggest carry-over of wheat on record and a new crop on hand, large in volume and high in quality, the pool is on trial for its life. During its first five years the pool made a first payment to the farmers, called the initial payment, followed by a second or interim payment, and finally, a third payment after the wind-up of the crop year.
