THE FARMING OUTLOOK
INCREASING EXPORTS Lower prices for primary produce, but increased production, were forecast by the chairman of directors, Mr. A. Strang, at the annual meeting- of shareholders in the Gear Meat Company, Ltd. Dealing with future prospects, the chairman said:—“The prospects for the coming season for producers or for freezing companies are not as bright as we are accustomed to hope for. Wool, tallow and pelts are all realising low prices, and with the generally increased exports of lamb, in which the company is most vitally interested, from South America and Australia, together with the expectation of considerably increased supplies from New Zealand, it looks as though a much lower average of values will have to be accepted. Stock has come through the winter fairly well. “Everything points to a big export season. The flocks of the Dominion this year constitute a record which has been largely brought about by the topdressing of pastures, thus enabling the farmers to carry considerably more stock and at the same time to carry it well.”
