Description
This 1908 reorganization, coupled with pressure from producers, led the federal government to establish the Board of Grain Commissioners to regulate and certify grades and weights of grain. The Board has since pursued its mandate so effectively that Canada's grain standards have long been considered the world's standards. (19) British demand for Canadian wheat during World War I caused prairie farmers to boost production to new levels, while the Canadian government regulated prices through a temporary Wheat Board. During the 1920's, as prairie lands filled up steam engines became more common on the farms, grain production continued to increase along with Canada's reputation as a major exporting nation.
