asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state the acreage of wheat it is anticipated will be sown in the coming year.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Wheat Acreage.
Mr. O'Higgins
It is not possible at this stage to state the acreage of wheat likely to be sown for next year's harvest.
Mr. O'Higgins
Will the Minister say whether he anticipates that the same acreage of wheat or a smaller acreage than the acreage sown this year will be sown next season?
I do not like to be making such prophecies.
Mr. O'Higgins
Surely the Minister for Local Government, acting for the Minister for Agriculture, will give the country some information as to the acreage which is going to be sown in next year's harvest?
