Golden chance for district to boost potato industry
The Guyra district may gain a 40 acre virgin potato land area for plant breeding and soil research. The push links education with agriculture and could yield new varieties suited to local conditions, boosting New England growers with potential for thousands of pounds in extra returns. A landholder could lease or sell land for the project.
