[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7824516, member: 718"] On the whole yes. During and after the War, massive effort was put in to increase land's fertility and crop yields with EHF's [experimental husbandry farms] wholly paid for by the taxpayer, finding new ways to maximise production potential and educating farmers on all aspects of doing so. Massive increases were made in land fertility and crop breeding to efficiently utilise the increased fertility, along with mechanisation and chemical pest control to better farm efficiency and produce food cheaper. All that is now being undone it seems to me. There are still massive areas of farmland that are being farmed 'traditionally' or have regressed to being that way. These areas produce next to nothing in the grand scheme of things. Most of the food is produced by the proportion of farmers that are professional and manage their land rather intensively with relatively high input and high output of clean quality produce. [/QUOTE]
