HC Deb 23 July 1959 vol 609 c160W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will consider advising corn and agricultural merchants to use higher capacity auger elevators instead of storage bins, when storing grain and feedingstuffs, thus reducing costs.

Mr. John Hare

No one method of movement or storage of grain is the best in all circumstances. It is up to those concerned to decide which is most appropriate in a particular case. The National Association of Corn and Agricultural Merchants has issued a pamphlet giving practical advice about bulk-handling equipment to farmers, merchants, ultimate users of grain and all concerned in advising on, or supplying, this type of equipment.
