Last week, thanks mainly to his $425.6 million sales of grain to Red China, Agriculture Minister Alvin Hamilton happily reversed field, called on Canadian farmers to put every acre into grain. This they could do, said he, "with complete confidence that there will be hungry markets, good prices, and more space available for grain in country elevators than at any time in the past ten years...
