The production of Fescue seed although of comparatively minor importance to the Dominion as a whole is regarded by the producers of the major portion of the crop in Otago and Southland from a very different standpoint. Furthermore, at a time when markets for our primary produce are apparently limited, and diversified farming is generally advocated, the growing of small seeds9 and in particular, Fescue Seed for which we have an existing market is to be encouraged. Apart from the loss of vitality of the seed in transit, the overseas buyer recognises the superiority of ew Zealand grown Chewings Fescue for use where a thick fine turf is desired.
