FARM PRODUCTION
Sir, —When farm production is debated at farmers’ gatherings, the main contention is “Higher prices and more money,” with lack of constructive suggestions. Statistics' indicate that production tends to fall when prices are high and there is a rising production trend during a period of .low prices. While prices are high farm income is sufficient to meet outgoings without maximum effort and the incentive for maximum production is lacking. The farmer is just as human as men in other walks of life, and the large number who decided to enjoy the congenial atmosphere of the Snowdon dispersal sale last week should not be unduly criticised: but the cumulative production loss must nevertheless be stressed as supporting my argument.—Yours, etc.. SCRUTATOR. June 18. 1946.
