no but there are progams and licenses. For example beef is licenced federaly and provincialy, the standards vary little between province but it difficult to get a federal permit at present on three packing plants of these one is owned by Cargil the other by Tyson Foods.

Flexi-coil products chnaged little however New Holland equipment is exactly the same as New Holland, more jobs were created. The flexi-coil plant also makes products such as draper headers, a specialty harvest header, which was never made by Flexi-coil and wouldn't be marketable by Flexi-coil but can be made by flex-coil undr CNH creating more jobs.
