Queensland Agricultural Merchants Inc
Food in Toowoomba

The Association was formed in an endeavor to obtain selling rights for grain sorghum, domestically and for export. A poll of growers was conducted in 1958 and the proposition was lost. In 1963, growers were asked to urge a optional pool in Southern Queensland with a Board to remain in Central and North Queensland. This was the beginning of many subsequent battles to acquire equal marketing rights for members of the free trade. Achievements There would be little argument that nearly all the gains achieved for the free trade have resulted from the efforts of the Association that came into being in 1955. It was a difficult environment for the free trade because the Boards controlled the sale of wheat, barley and sorghum, and the Queensland Graingrowers' Association (QGGA) occupied a dictatorial position in so far as the Queensland grain industry was concerned. He could see the merit of having a merchants' representative on the Board of BBQ. Mr Casey promised that if he became Minister, he would see to it that the Association was represented and he kept his word. There was opposition from some growers because they and QGGA believed they were the industry.
