Imported feed is the largest single farm operating expense in Newfoundland, yet the local production of feed grains is\udnegligible. The federally-funded Feed Freight Assistance\udProgram once provided annual subsidies of approximately\ud$2 million for the transport of grain into the province, but\udthis program was terminated in 1995.
