MODERN TRENDS IN GRASSLAND FARMING

Abstract

In viewing the problem set me by the executive of this SSoocciieettyy -- to provide a talk on modern trends in grassland farming-l found myself faced with formidable difficulties. The canvas is so huge, the picture so complex, and my knowledge so limited that I do not feel able to do justice to a subject which could be adequately covered only by contributions from a large number of specialists. All that I can hope to do in the course of the 20 minutes available to me is to give a very personal view of the present situation of grassland farming and of the new factors, knowledge, and techniques that must be given proper consideration if it is to continue to develop satisfactorily.
