It asserts rents rise with agricultural improvement, not the farmer exploiting prices, and cites that grain prices in late January show no systemic withholding by sellers. It emphasizes continuation of ample supply and asserts calm, information-based discussion.
The writer estimates average annual grain prices during a period of plenty and dearth, noting wheat at 27s 6d per quarter and barley 15s while oats average 12s 3d.
