Hormones in agriculture
Sir,—lt is very gratifying to see the report in “The Press” concerning the pressures being brought to bear by overseas countries regarding the use of hormonal inplants in beef cattle within New Zealand. Both Germany and the Netherlands, in particular, have been leaders in the development of the biological husbandry (organic) movement that is stimulating a return to basic fundamentals within agriculture in the interests of world environmental security. Hopefully such pressures from the rapidly increasing organic lobby overseas will not be lost on our agricultural leaders as they struggle to determine where to place the emphasis in agricultural development, for the future. — Yours, etc., R. A. CROWDER, . , Senior lecturer, Horticulture. Lincoln College. ' JL August 8, 1985.
