Aerial baiting urged to fight grasshoppers in northern districts
A deputation to the Honorary Minister for Agriculture urged a government reoperation for aerial baiting to combat grasshoppers in Morawa Mullewa Mingenew districts. They proposed a pound for pound subsidy and noted local funds of 700 to 800 pounds with potential to raise 2,000. Experts warned wind drift risks, favoring controlled ground baiting as in Eastern States. The ministerial team promised full cooperation if experiments proceed.
