Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1957, this study traces the development of the national policy as it affected the growth of the Canadian trade and discusses the grain marketing problems of Western Canada in the decades that followed, with detailed attention to legislation and moves by various growers' groups in an attempt to meet these problems. This important study in political economy is organized into four main parts. In Part One the author traces the development of the national policy and its impact on the growth of the wheat empire in the years before 1900. In Part Two, he discusses the grain marketing problems of western Canada during the 1900-1920 period. Part Three is a masterful exposé of the history of the open market system and of the history and policies of the Canadian Wheat Pools, and Part Four examines the economic philosophy behind the development of the national policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with an important and timely issue: the political and economic forces that have shaped agricultural policies in the United States during the past eighty years.

In addition, the book highlights the roles played by the world economy, the civil rights movement, and existing national policy to provide an invaluable analysis of past and recent trends in supply management policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars have long assumed that the Western Canadian wheat economy of the early twentieth century was the consequence of a nineteenth century federal government program, known as the 'national policy', inspired by Sir John A. Macdonald. However, when the basic elements of this alleged policy are investigated, it becomes apparent that no systematic strategy to promote an agricultural staple economy was forwarded by the federal Conservative government. Indeed, the concept of fostering another export staple economy was anathema to nineteenth century Canadian toryism. As such, the development of the Western Canadian grain industry must be re-examined from a perspective that recognizes alternative causation. When the various components of the developing nineteenth century grain trade are unravelled, the immense impetus provided by indigenous regional elements becomes apparent. Hamstrung by federal government policies, early western branch line construction was made possible only through the financial aid of the Manitoba legislature and the municipal bonusing craze. Although the initial impetus was provided by CPR regulations, the pressures of world economic deflation caused local grain men to develop and utilize vast grain elevator networks. Also, by virtue of the contrary designs of the Eastern Canadian milling establishment, Winnipeg grain interests were forced to erect a powerful, centralized marketing apparatus to secure international demand for Western grain. Operating in tandem, these components created a great wheat funnel which was able to competatively spout the prairie staple onto the world's markets and usher in the wheat 'boom' of the earlier twentieth century.

Download or read book American Agriculture and the Problem of Monopoly written by Jon Lauck and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2016-02-01 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The breathtaking number of mergers and joint ventures among agribusiness firms has left independent American farmers facing the power of an increasingly concentrated buying sector. The origin of farmers' concern with such economic concentration dates back to protests against meatpackers and railroads in the late nineteenth century. Jon Lauck examines the dimensions of this problem in the American Midwest in the decades following World War II. He analyzes the nature of competition within meat-packing and grain markets. In addition, he addresses concerns about corporate entry into production agriculture and the potential displacement of a production system defined by independent family farms. Lauck also considers the ability of farmers to organize in order to counter the market power of large-scale agribusiness buyers. He explores the use of farmer cooperatives and other mechanisms which may increase the bargaining power of farmers. The book offers the first serious historical examination of the National Farmers Organization, which fully embraced the bargaining power cause in the postwar period. Lauck finds that independent farmers' attempts at organization have been more successful than previously recognized, but he also shows that their successes have been undermined by the growing concentration and power of agri-business firms, justifying a new approach to antitrust law in agricultural markets.
