Paterson Scheme Faces Farmer Debate in Melbourne Letter
A Melbourne letter argues the Paterson Stabilisation Scheme does not aid dairy farmers under current costs, noting wage rises in other trades drive costs anyway. It contends the scheme raises domestic butter prices by 3d per lb, with a net producer gain of 1d–2d, and predicts over £2,000,000 annual benefit in a year. The writer regrets misunderstanding of the scheme and disputes export parity focus.
