Farmers Discuss Guaranteed Price
The conference carried a remit urging that in computing the price of dairy pi’oduce while the guaranteed price is in operation, an independent tribunal should be set up, presided over by a Supreme Court Judge and that the personnel of the tribunal shall be mutally agreed upon by a committee - consisting of eqffal numbers of members nominated by the dairy Industry as sellers, and the Government as the buyers.
It was also urged that the price should be determined by the tribunal from evidence placed before it, and that the proceedings and findings of the tribunal should be made public and that the price should be such as will (a) enable farmers to pay competitive rates of wages (b) allow them reasonable interest on capital invested in their farms and stocks tc) enable them to meet increased costs imposed by legislation, including tariffs Id) allow them remuneration commensurate with the service they render, and with that obtained by other members of the community who render equal service. The remit was carried unanimously.
