If you're interested in reading a thorough analysis of the Canadian Wheat Board, here's a start. It's from the Saskatchewan desk of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.
Excerpt:
"Without the Wheat Board, the big grain companies would totally take over. Farmers would just be contract growers, restricted to the company's varieties, their chemicals, their prices and conditions. For transportation rates and service we'd be at the mercy of the railroads, with no representative body strong enough to take them on."
