摘要：
Despite the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement, border disputes involving agricultural trade are common. A theoretical basis for the 1987 U.S. countervailing duty case against Canadian exports of potash is developed using excess capacity arguments. Empirically, within a rent-seeking context, the U.S. potash producers gained far less from their legal action against Canada than did U.S. farmers who are significant users of Canadian potash.
