BRITISH FARMS
HOW NEEDS COULD HELP 'GENERAL ECONOMY
Rec. 10.10 a.m
LONDON, Dec. 20
British agriculture will need tractors and farm machinery worth £20,000,000 a year, according to a report by the National Farmers' Union on the position caused by the cessation of lend-lease.
The union points out that the de-' mands of agriculture, if met by British manufacturers, would do much to rehabilitate the Britsh engineering industry. The agricultural industry has oeen left in a position in which it is i'aced with much restricted supplies of implements and machines at a time when a sustained effort for food production is required. The provision of adequate amounts -and types of machinery at prices which are economic both to the manufacturer and the farmer has become a matter of urgent concern.
