Government Wheat Guarantee Debate in Australia
The article argues for a government wheat guarantee to protect farmers against loss and encourage crop growth. It notes heavy taxes on farmers, insufficient incentives, and compares international protections. It warns that without insurance or protection, wheat production may collapse as costs exceed returns, risking national commitments and domestic industries. It cites Professor Perkins on production costs and calls for a 4 shillings per bushel guarantee to stabilize prices and avert a broader economic crisis.
