“Complex” year
"The 1970/71 sheep Industry season has been very complex, both in regard to dimatic conditions and economic factors,” says the annual review of the sheep industry Issued by the Meat and Wool Boards’ Economic Service. “Sheep fern incomes In 1970/71 on average could be down on 1960/70 levels by about 8 per cent, due to increases in on and off-farm costs and to a lower wool price in 1970/ 71. In some areas, however, as a result of higher returns from cattle and a favourable season, the income situation is more satisfactory. “Cost movements have created real problems in the industry with on-farm Increases of 5 per cent as between January, 1970, and January, 1971. Offfarm costs have also Increased considerably.”
