§ 49. Mr. Priceasked the Minister of Agriculture whether any steps are being taken to popularise for use on farms a new type of cutter-blower for silo-filling from America suitable for small ricks?
§ The Minister of Agriculture (Mr. R. S. Hudson)As part of my Department's campaign to popularise silage production 929 the Ministry has encouraged the production of cutter-blowers for silo filling by British manufacturers, and has supplemented this production by the import of suitable machines from the U.S.A.
§ Mr. PriceAre there any small ones on the market, or likely to come on the market, which will do for small farms?
§ Mr. HudsonCutter-blowers are not necessary for making grass silage, which is the most important. They are only necessary for crops grown especially for silage, such as vetches.
