Wheat sharefarm quota positions clarified in ministerial note
A letter to sharefarmers from the Minister for Commerce explains quota allocations under 59 50 agreements. If the farmer has full plant, the farmer gains full quota while the landlord gains an additional half quota. If both share and landowner share one quota, each receives a half quota. Partial equipment cases yield at least a half quota for the sharefarmer and a half for the landlord, with multiple quotas possible per agreement. A state committee will assess special cases. Private Francis Maloney, aged 29, of Cobram, died on active service in New Guinea during December while serving with the A.L.F. Sympathy extended to the Maloney family.
