A recommendation that the oat industry be subsidised by the Governmen to show a reasonable return over the cost of production until a reduction is made in costs, was approved at a meeting of the Southland provincial executive of the Farmers’ Union. The meeting also approved of another recommendation that the Government prohibit importation of oats until a payable price was reached in New Zealand. It was stated that Southland had a favourable climate for growing oats, and that if a payable price was fixed the country would be flooded with home-grown oats. The executive decided to forward the recommendations to the North Canterbury executive, which operated in the greatest oatgrowing district of New Zealand, with a view to enlisting local support.
