asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will now announce the price to be paid to growers for wheat of the 1955 crop so that farmers can decide what crops they will sow in the coming year.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - 1955 Wheat Prices.
asked the Minister for Agriculture whether, in view of the fact that the winter wheat sowing period is well advanced, he will now make known the price to be paid to growers for wheat of the 1955 crop.
With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to answer Questions Nos. 35 and 36 together.
The prices to be paid to growers for wheat of the 1955 and 1956 crops were announced by me on Saturday last, the 20th of November.
Is the Minister aware that the grain growers of the country have been stunned and staggered by the blow he struck them?
I am aware of neither one nor the other because my experience has been that the grain growers of this country are an eminently reasonable body of men.
