Wheat for stock feed questioned amid shortages and price rise
In the House of Representatives Mr E J Eggins asks if wheat will be available for stock feed at 18 shillings a bushel and if the government will allocate wheat to pig and dairy industries for six months to allow planning for alternative grains. Acting Minister Anthony says wheat is in short supply for all uses, the International Wheat Agreement quota cannot be met, NSW faces a grave shortage, and producers may need to switch to maize or sorghum, except possibly for egg production.
