Abstract
A committee under the chairmanship of Professor J. P. Hudson has been taking evidence on courses leading to qualifications in agriculture below OND. In this article, the first of two, Martin Whitby of the Agricultural Adjustment Unit at the University of Newcastle‐upon‐Tyne, looks at the effects upon training of changes in the agricultural labour force. The chief factor as far as the Agricultural Training Board is concerned, he suggests, is a decline in the number of workers and a consequent change in the ratio of hired workers to farmers. A second article, to be published next month, will be concerned with who actually pays for the training, especially in view of the fact that many young farm workers leave the agricultural industry soon after they have been trained.
