Wheatgrowers urge action on stabilising scheme debate
In a letter to the editor from Tariemara Daroobalgie, E. Field of Wheatgrower in Wheat State argues for a stable wheat system. He defends his views on the Wheat Scheme, criticizes opposition, and calls for growers to unite to reduce burdens from interest and storage costs while seeking clarity on government plans. He notes rising costs since prewar times and stresses the need for a workable policy that protects small and large growers alike.
