Molesworth Speaks on Free Trade at Wadebridge Farmers Meet
At the Wadebridge Farmers Club annual gathering at the Molesworth Arms Sir William Molesworth outlined the case for repealing the corn laws. He argued that free trade would curb price uncertainty, boost agricultural science adoption, and benefit landlords, tenants, and farm laborers, highlighting Lady Basset as an example of good cultivation. The speech ended with prizes for best managed farms and a toast to successful competitors.
