§ Sir A. Bossomasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will give consideration to a subsidy to help farmers in grubbing-up old orchards no longer of value.
Mr. AmoryThe grubbing-up of old grass orchards normally comes within the scope of the £12 per acre ploughing grant, which in certain circumstances may be supplemented by assistance under the Marginal Production Scheme. Other old orchards also may come within the latter Scheme.
