Ashburton Grain Market Report for Week Ending May 3
Wheat offerings fall and demand exceeds supply as threshers draw in. Wheat stocks are scarce across the district with little expected from thin areas until harvest. Priced quotes include Canadi 23 1 2d to 23 8 2d and oats 23 4d to 31 6d. Chaff demand rises as cutters stay busy and turnouts are delivered. Turnip crops fail, increasing future chaff need if weather worsens. Prime quality 82s 6d on trucks at near stations.
