§ Mr. Jacksonasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that, owing to the uncertainty of the feeding-stuff and labour position, many farmers are not rearing their heifers for future milk production; and can he give these farmers some assurance as to their future position?
§ Sir R. Dorman-SmithThe Government is fully alive to the importance of maintaining milk supplies and farmers may rest assured that all practicable steps will be taken to ensure that labour and feeding-stuffs are adequate for this purpose. For their part, dairy farmers should make every effort, including the improvement of their pastures, to grow, this season, as much as possible of the feeding-stuffs they will need.
