Britain to Invest 450 Million Pounds in Farm Expansion
The Economic Cooperation plan allocates £450 million over four years to expand British farming, with half for mechanised equipment. UK agricultural machinery output has surged from £4 million in 1947 to £75 million annually, with 1946 and 1947 figures lower. Tractor production rose from 10,000 prewar to 58,000 in 1946, and over 82,000 in the first nine months of 1948, about 40 percent exported.
