Abstract
Cereal yields in Britain have risen by several cwt. per acre in recent years, largely owing to the use of new varieties that resist lodging and respond better than the old to nitrogenous fertilizers. The farmer's problem is to select the right variety for his particular purpose, and surveys show that his choice is influenced to a varying degree by the advisory services and other sources from which he may obtain the information.
