I live in western Canada and recall the wheatboard  debate resulting in the elimination of the wheatboard. the heart of the problem was that the board was more interested in control than in improvements in productivity. each farmer regardless  of size had one vote. this created a situation that encouraged the board to support inefficient operations. when the board disappeared  the grain industry concentrated on efficiency resulting in a world class operation today. I also recall the report about two brothers in the milk industry in Ontario the wanted to combine their two operations in one  to become more efficient. the milk board refused and the case went to court.i do not recall the ruling in the case but the issue became that control was more important than efficiency. I fear that the Canadian milk industry is not capabable of competing in the world market .why would the milk industry make the same mistake thar the wheatboard made.
