The Manitoba government is fighting the federal government’s plans for the Canadian Wheat Board
The province is launching a radio and television advertising campaign that says Ottawa will destroy the wheat board and hurt farmers across Western Canada.
The federal Conservatives have promised to end the wheat board’s monopoly on grain sales and allow farmers to sell independently.
The Conservatives say producers should have the right to choose how to sell.
Manitoba says the wheat board will die without the monopoly and prices could drop.
