Recent developments in Northern Irish agriculture

Abstract

In the twenty-seven years since Ireland was divided there have been many developments both in the production and in the disposal of agricultural produce On the whole both sections had the same initial structure of the industry, and it is a matter of considerable interest to trace the changes which have taken place in the North of Ireland during a time of agricultural revolution. I propose briefly to outline the position with regard to agriculture at the time of the Treaty, the development during the past 25 years and, lastly, the social condition of the farming community during that period.
