FOOD POLICY AND HOME PRODUCTION. Memo. by Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries.

28 May 1940

9. We should conduct a detailed survey of individual farms to ascertain what increased production is possible and what assistance is required for each under certain assumptions. 10. To this end county organisation wants strengthening. I am putting this in hand at once. In order to increase production still further it will be necessary to provide the backward farmers with more advice and to supervise their work more closely. I propose to close agricultural colleges and farm institutes and to take over all the agricultural educational staff of County Councils.
