PLOUGH COSTS £440
HIGH PRICES IN ENGLAND WHEN NEW COST ONLY £B9 The price of agricultural implements has soared in England. Here is an example, quoted in an English newspaper. Two years ago, a Cambridgeshire farmer bought a new two-furrow plough for £B9. . He sold it recently for £440.
“There must have been a tractor thrown in as well,” commented a puzzled official of the Ministry of Agriculture, but there was no tractor, only the second-hand plough. Other farming implements • are ■bringing correspondingly high prices, but the price in this instance was outstanding.
