The Canadian "countervailing market power" model of the Canadian Wheat Board for export grain and supply management for feathers and milk contrasts sharply with the United States model of a "treasury floor" under agricultural terms of trade for cereals and oilseeds and unrestrained contract farming for the industrializing livestock sector. 2, record 7, English, - treasury%20floor
