High Freight Impact on Agriculture Policy Debate
The Minister of Agriculture Mr Hagelthorn announced plans to invite two to three representatives from the Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber of Agriculture to discuss the effects of prevailing high freights on farming exports. He warned rates may persist and threaten oats, cereals, and products like lucerne hay and bran, suggesting possible policy shifts toward concentrated exports or reformulation of production to meet costs. The notice also lists payment awaits at the Benalla office and mentions a Auckland Supreme Court insurance case about a dwelling destroyed by fire, with judgment for £500 plus costs, plus unrelated reflections on past joys and a historical verse.
