The SA growers' represen
tative on the board (Mr. C.
T. Chapman) said last night
the board's action was de
signed to protect wheat
growers.
Heavy rainfall in the past
three weeks, followed by un
usually cool weather had not
allowed the soil to dry out
and this had resulted in the
crops being moist when har
vested.
The moisture would
cause rapid infestation
throughout the stack. '
The board used the most
up-to-date instruments to
test moisture content, and it
was unfortunate that some
farmers would suffer.
