Cattle Compensation Proposal Delayed by Finance and Staffing Issues
The central executive of the Primary Producers' Union debated a Cattle Compensation Bill. The Minister of Agriculture said legislation is prepared but no final decision on funding or implementation. He noted funds must come from the industry, similar to Swine Compensation, and that staff increases or part time experts would be needed, with further expenditure likely. The matter was deferred for now.

Wilt resistant tomatoes and breeding efforts described
The article reviews Fusarium wilt in tomatoes and efforts to develop an early wilt resistant variety. Marglobe is resistant but too late for early markets. Ear Mana and Break of Day have limitations. Hawkesbury breeder Mr Shirlow works on crosses, including Earliana with Blaby, to produce an early wilt resistant cultivar, aiming to surpass Earl fan. A cross between Earliana and the Small Red Currant tomato shows promise for resistance to both wilt types.
