Record of Wheat Pool work for 1930 31 season Adelaide meeting
The Interim Report of the Directors of the Wheat Pool for the 1930/31 season was presented in Adelaide on September 17. The pool handled 17 386 000 bushels, supplying about 60 percent of state marketable wheat with over 10 000 members. Prices fell to new lows across main ports with 2 53 to 1 10 per bushel, freight deductions apply. The report notes China and Japan bought about half of exports, and future payments to growers will exceed the average open market quotations. A move from 100 percent contracts to a 50 percent minimum delivery system is planned for the 1932 season due to strained finances. The annual meeting in the Farmers' Union Buildings featured remarks by Chairman J M McDonald and manager E A Badcock, emphasizing unity and ongoing relief efforts, including sales tax considerations and policy explanations.
