Graziers Discuss Sheep and Wool Extension Services
The Graziers Association sub committee in the U.G.A. examined financing options for expanding sheep and wool extension services. President C B Peter Bell reported on current services and potential cost implications including a levy proposal and possible government contributions. The Longreach Branch debated the future of extension services and the industry’s control, with calls for better coordination and a strong recommendation to the U.G.A. to push for improved services. The meeting also touched on short wave wireless needs and grain and fodder storage schemes, plus plans for the U.G.A. to own Brisbane building and forecast weather issues at the upcoming Executive Council session.
