Fair Play for Wheat Growers Calls for Government Action
Since May 1929 the Wheat Directors, aided by the Farmers Union, urged the State Government to fix a home market price reflecting production costs. Growers pressed for relief from rail freight, storage and export charges, while opposing a Wheat Marketing Board scheme that was rejected by Parliament. Many districts backed relief efforts though some farmers hesitated to join the Pool, fearing insufficient support for success.
