This would make the landed cost in the North', Island 7s Id The wheat committee paid 7s 4d a bushel for wheat grown in the South Island and 8s for that grown in the North Island. Therefore, the cost of New Zealand wheat in the North Island, whether grown there or shipped from the South, was lid above the price of Australian wheat.
