Wheat price guarantee debate grips Federal Senate
The article details a Senate motion to guarantee a minimum 5s per bushel for exportable wheat for five years to protect farmers against high costs and drought, arguing for competitive parity with imports and recognition of rising living costs. It cites Professor Perkins and Mr McGibbon, noting Victoria’s profitability concerns and the North-West Mallee risk, with calls for a confident price floor to sustain wheat growing.
