Wheat Board Scrapped

Harper's piece de resistance: Eliminating the wheat board.

"The Canadian Wheat Board was created in 1935 as a voluntary marketing agency for prairie wheat. In 1943, what is referred to as the "single-desk" was created, essentially a monopoly that meant all western farmers had to market their wheat through the board."

It had its time.
