Written in the early 1980s, The Future of Grain examines Canada's growing grain exports and the outlook for the industry's future.
The authors examine the prospects such an increase holds for the largely static Canadian industries connected to grain: manufacturers of agricultural machinery, pesticides and fertilizers; processing industries such as feed and flour milling, canola crushing and barley malting. And they suggest improvements to every aspect of government involvement--from measures to conserve Prairie soil to macroeconomic policy--that affects this important sector.
The Future of Grain offers a valuable analysis of this important agricultural sector at a vital time in its history.
