§ 3. Mr. Hurdasked the Minister of Food what reports he has received of the progress of the sorghum harvest under the Queensland British Food Corporation's Scheme; and if he can forecast the tonnage that will be available for shipment to this country.
§ Mr. WebbThe Corporation report that the sorghum crop in Queensland has suffered from lack of rain and that yields are lower than last year. The exportable surplus from the crop which is now being harvested will be considerably lower than last year's, but I would not like to give any forecast of the actual quantity until I have the report on the outcome of harvest from the Corporation.
