Wheat imports and reserves discussed by Victoria Wheat Board
Melbourne report states a considerate amount of wheat would be imported into Victoria this year. Sir Clive McPheraun, chairman of the Wheat Board, said many growers would need seed wheat for 1045 and the board had advised the Department of Agriculture to reserve at least 200000 bushels of bareed wheat. The aim is to supply meat and bread, with provisions for bigging where possible and support for users unable to handle peak wheat. Victorian flour mills would reduce operations to two shifts to conserve supplies.
