Abstract
On January 8 this year, the Canadian government initiated what will be one of Canada’s largest trade disputes against the United States, by challenging US Farm Bill subsidies for corn, soy and other grain products at the World Trade Organization (WTO). This case is the first of its kind launched by Canada, not only attacking existing Farm Bill programs but implicitly challenging any revitalized subsidy programs that might appear in Farm Bill replacement legislation currently before Congress.
