Farmers on both sides of the border are watching closely as Canada and the U.S. continue trade talks. With Canada backing off its digital services tax, some are asking: is supply management next? That’s the system that controls how much milk, eggs and poultry Canadian farmers can produce and guarantees a set price for what they sell. We hear from a dairy farmer in New York who says U.S. producers still don’t have the access they were promised under USMCA, and an egg farmer in B.C. who says supply management helped her farm survive. Plus, a food economist walks us through how the system works — and what might happen if it’s put back on the table.
