A plan presented to state ministers by Federal Minister Pottard seeks a guaranteed wheat price of 6/3 per bushel until the 1963/58 season. It envisages a variable guarantee tied to production costs, controlled marketing, a stabilisation fund funded by a tax on exports, and limits on export quantities to 10 million bushels per year. The scheme requires state cooperation and legislation, with home consumption pricing aligned to the guaranteed rate.
