West Wimmera farmers back local wheat stabilisation committees
About 70 farmers from across West Wimmera attended a district council meeting convened by the Victorian Wheat and Wool Growers Association to approve local committees under the Wheat Stabilisation Scheme. Dr P Bons chaired. speakers included L R Rodda MLC G Evans and A E Bell. The plan aims to review excess acreage and ensure fair allocation under the Commonwealth stabilisation scheme, with two grower representatives per branch and Lands Department officers chairing. Leaders stressed farmer control, need for a mortgage bank, and tighter verification of registrations to prevent overstatement of sown areas. The meeting endorsed appointing local committees as the quickest and safest means to police excess applications.
