Poultry Farming Soldier Scheme Fades Amid Land Delays
An ambitious government backed program to train returning soldiers as poultry farmers near Subiaco collapses as land delays stall progress. The committee resigns, the Lands Minister blames the hold up on land supply, and a revival or alternative plan may rely on successful soldier farmers mentoring scholars. A recruiting rally is planned on Monday, with a diversified program and heavy public turnout anticipated.
