CornField Issues !!

Ottawa moved closer yesterday to a trade war with Washington over U.S. farm subsidies that could see long-term tariffs on grain corn imports (importers be warned it could be $1.47 a bushel) -- A measure opponents warn could drive up the cost of everything from tortilla chips to livestock feed. Critics caution it could prompt a backlash from the U.S. government and lead to retaliatory tariffs on Canadian products.

Canadian hog and cattle farmers could be among those hit hardest if Ottawa doesn't change course
