HC Deb 26 April 1968 vol 763 c100W
Mr. Jopling

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he is taking to make known to growers the two new varieties of wheat available, Maris Ranger and Joss Cambier, which the National Institute of Agricultural Botany's tests indicate may raise yields by up to five hundredweights per acre.

Mr. John Mackie

Information about these and other winter wheat varieties on the current Recommended List of the National Institute of Agricultural Botany is being made available to growers and merchants by the Institute itself, and by the National Agricultural Advisory Service through the medium of county bulletins, newsletters and individual advice.
