Farming at Wongan Hills Signals Grim Outlook
A settler in the Wongan Hills district told a Wat Australian representative that farmers face a black outlook with wheat acreage dropping below half of last season. High prices, costly gear, and labour press farmers into debt worsened by dry conditions and bushfires, though improved weather next season could help those with early, dry wheat. He urged Wheat Pool relief with an extra sixpence for 1916-18 to cover super and essentials before it's too late.
