VILLAGERS CLASH WITH RURAL COUNCIL ON MINISTRY SCHEME TO WIDEN MAIN STREETS


ABJECTIONS to a plan to alleviate one of Lancashire's most prominent bottlenecks were voiced by Whallcy residents at a public inquiry in the old Grammar School on


Wednesday. The inquiry, which was held to hear objections to a Ministry of Transport plan lor , r


the widening of the centre of Whallcy, was conducted by Mr. A. Floyd, who emphasised that he was an official of the Ministry but said his findings would be reported to the Ministry


who would make the final decision. The Whallcy Action Group, dedicated to the quashing


of the plan to widen the centre of the village and to the building of a by-pass around the village had previously sent a


petition to the Ministry bearing more than 700 names. The Group was represented ------------------ at the inquiry by Mr. I.

Systems of Beef production


'THE importance of beef in farming systems varies from one area to another, depending on the physical and climatic


features of the area. Thus on livestock farms, beef is often one of the major enterprises, but on arable farms, it is usually of secondary importance.


On both these types of farm, die system of beef production


adopted should be the one best suited to the restrictions imposed by, or the advantages afforded by, the individual farm.

The latter, for instance, may be sel­ ling finished beasts at 18 months old: the individual restrictions of Farm B may dictate the sale of forward stores. On arable farms, where beef is

a subsidiary enterprise, the system selected should be dove­ tailed into the existing farm plan as unobtrusively ns possible, and the farmer must make sura that it does not compete with major enterprises for factors of pro­ duction. In short, the farmer should fit the system to the farm; he should not fit the farm to the svstem. A good example of this is ’ a winter-yarded enter­ prise. using “ surplus ” labour; a had example is a breeding herd, whose progeny are fattened oil grass during the second summer, thereby requiring additional land that could be more profitably used by arable crops. On arable farms "therefore, the choice of system should be determined by tiie availability of “ surplus” farm resources, which con be profitably used by beef animals —for instance, a r a b l e by­ products, empty buildings, spare seasonal labour and unavoidable grassland, either unploughable pasture or rotational leys.

relationship between yard space and the grassland acreage. Clearly, the farmer should stock his grass to its technical capacity, and if this results in fewer cattle being kept in the winter than his available yard space can accommodate, it is better to leave his yards half empty than to fill them by intro­ ducing a system that is not ouited to his farm. Farms with no grass, but with adequate buildings could consider a system of intensive “ barley beef” production. Finally, on both arable and


is better to purchase stock than to breed, so that tire highest gross output from grass can be obtained each year. The availa­ bility of building space will determine the age and condition at which the stock are sold. Thus, a farm with a large grass­ land acreage, but with limited yard or building accommodation, might be best advised to sell suckled calves in the autumn from a spring calving herd. Another farm with limited grass­ land but with adequate building space could choose between pur­ chasing young calves or forward stores for sale as fat or store beasts off grass or from yards. The choice will depend on the

livestock farms, the require­ ments of the local market should influence the choice of system. After a farmer has considered the restrictions or advantages relevant to the peculiar features of his farm, he may still have to decide between two or three eliernative systems. He should then choose the system which produces an end-product nenrest dint required by the local market. If the producer meets local market preferences, he should be sure that the “ premium" is large enough to meet any extra costs which he may have to incur for the market requirement may imply a system of production not entirely suited to the farm.
