Britain's Long -Term Agricultural Policy The net output of British agri- culture increased by about 35 per cent during the war. Inten- sive mechanization made British agriculture among the most highly mechanized in the world, with 190,000 tractors compared with the pre-war count of 60,000. Output per man-year rose by 10-15 per cent, The problem now is to ad - last the industry to post-war needs, while retaining the wartime gains in efficiency and develop- ing them still further. The Government's policy, both to save foreign exchange and for good farming, is to switch pro- duction, as rapidly as the cereals position permits, from the produc- tion of crops for direct human consumption to the production of live stock and live -stock products, especially pigs and poultry. The import of $1,000 worth of feecl- ingstuffs will save nearly $2,000 worth of imports of livestock products. Though the world cereal short- age has delayed this policy, it still remains the long-term solution, and as additional feedingstuffs become available, they will be used to increase pig and poultry breeding stock.
