British Agriculture Has Huge Machinery Needs
(Rec. 11.20 a.m.) LONDON, Dec. 20 British agriculture will need tractors and farm machinery worth £20,000,000 yearly, according to the National Farmers’ Union report on the position caused by the cessation of Lend-Lease.
The union points out that agricultural demands, if met by British manufacturers, would do much to rehabilitate the British engineering industry. The agricultural industry has been left in a position in which it is faced with much restricted supplies, implements and machines at. a time when sustained effort for food production is required. ' The provision of adequate amounts of types of machinery at prices economic both to the manufacturer and the farmer has become a matter of urgent concern.
