letter to the editor To The Editor: There is so much yelling going on about the Free Trade issue that I think there are some basic questions or very close to it? still have the same marketing systems they want or are in- stitutions like the man admits Canadian Wheat Board to be phased out? How long before the Crow benefit is phased out? What will happen to grain farmers who live more than a hundred miles or so off the U.S. border (especially in Alberta) when nearly all . the feedlots will likely but a lot of their grain from the U.S.? Corn already comes into Alberta as far north as don t we just lose more of our grain market to that mountain of grain south of the border? Will the U.S. still countervail our produc- ts according to their rules or are the rules themselves to changed? What do we gain if those rules have not been changed? - Who do we believe; people like the President of the Quaker Oats company who says that the agricultural sector will out of business by the proposed deal, or do we believe Getty and Mulroney?
