Price difficulties which handicap the English beef producer are emphasised in a letter received in Auckland from an established farmer resident in one of the eastern counties. “Please eat more beef,” he asks his Auckland correspondent. “Do not send the stuff here. We are having a dreadful time with fat cattle.” The farmer states that stock which would have sold for 51/- per cwt. live weight in 1929, was now selling at 30/- per cwt. He received a Government subsidy of 5/- per cwt., but the cost of production now was higher.
