Wheatgrowers Demand Higher Advances for Harvest
The Wheat Growers Federation protests to the Federal Government over inadequate initial payments for the current harvest. Victoria and Western Australia growers threaten deliveries hold ups. A Melbourne meeting is called to decide action. Prime Minister Menzies says raw charges won’t be deducted from the first advance, leaving 9d per bushel for bagged wheat and 1s 7d for bulk. Advance of 3s 6d desired. Ernest Field vows continued pressure for 2s 6d minimum. Deputy Leader Forde asserts growers deserve a price to cover production costs. Exchanges indicate broad discontent with the offered advance.
