Sugar Beet
Sir—The increased sugarbeet acreage of 20,750 was announced by the United Kingdom Government in November, 1963: I read these figures in the “Farmers’ Weekly” of November 22, 1963. an English agricultural journal: 20.000 acres are allocated to England and Wales, the remainder to Scotland. It would appear from this issue that -sugar, beet is not a very, profitable crop in Scotland, as “Student” suggests; even so, the Scottish N.F.U. was pleased with the increase and an official added (here I quote from the journal)’: “The union believes that an adequate addition to the guaranteed price is essential at the next price review if the crop is to become a worth-while proposition to Scottish farmers.” —Yours, etc., • PEASANT FARMER. February 11, 1964.
