Britain’s farm progress tied to war effort discussed in Washington
Agricultural attache Robert Rae and James Scott Watson, recalled to England, spoke with Washington reporters on how English farmers steadily boost production. Rae noted spring plowing ahead after a dry winter, 70 percent of food now produced domestically, and plans to sustain farming through 1947. They highlighted cross Atlantic exchange on machinery, farm tenancy, and the need for harvest labor and equipment as invasion looms.
