Equitable wheat scheme unlikely, NSW growers told
Mudgee, Tuesday. W L Ridley, chair of the Graziers Association of NSW agricultural committee, said any plan to restrict deliveries to the Australian Wheat Board would not be equitable for all NSW growers. He outlined two major wheat districts, the south yielding sili, fair, low protein wheat and the north producing hard wheat. He warned that balancing interests of long-time growers and new entrants across the state is a difficult task for growers bodies, the Grain Elevators Board, and the Department of Agriculture.
