Irish drive to grow more wheat sparks government plan
Eamon de Valera's government pushes a coercive and propaganda campaign to force farmers to plant more wheat. A new relief rating scheme offers tax rebates for farm households with more adult males, while a guaranteed price of six dollars per barrel promises markets for homegrown wheat. The plan aims to reach 800000 acres, but progress remains slow after 1932 figures show only 90000 acres planted this year, far from the 600000 needed to compete with imports.
