Wool price
In his general report, Mr Murchison said he was upset that the wool trigger price had been fixed at 215 c.
There was a lack of ap- i preciation by the Government of increased farming costs. Taking inflation into account, incomes would be down on last year, he said. He also advised delegates < that the local transport industry was considering making it mandatory for farmers to have stock ramps. “In my opinion, we have been pretty lucky to get away with it for such a long time,” he told delegates. The meeting decided that a minimum of two years grace would be needed to build the ramps, if they were made compulsory.
