Northern Farmers Union meeting discusses potato inspection and seed concerns
At a Northern Farmers Union gathering, leaders outlined sending a letter to the Potato Growers' Association secretary urging continued federal inspection of potatoes at dispatch, not receipt. They learned the NSW Board aligns with the Australian Potato Committee, and a subcommittee was formed to study seed quality amid reports of root rot from imported New Zealand seed. The meeting also pressed for higher whole milk prices and addressed zoning unfairness affecting Northern Tablelands dairy farmers, leading to a fourpence per gallon increase. A plan to export 50 percent of next season's crop and improve country rail service with buffet cars was noted, with ministerial concurrence sought.
