Book: Record of Agricultural holdings in Anglesey

BOOK: Record of Agricultural holdings in Anglesey.

Lists each holder by parish giving name and occupier, particulars of the land (arable, pasture etc.) and crops grown, particulars of live stock and numbers of staff.

In 1915, with concerns around food supplies mounting and with a view to securing future harvests, the government called for counties to establish War Agricultural Committees. The records that survive give an insight into how concerns around farming changed as the war continued. These county committees in their turn set up district committees, comprising those with local knowledge, who, amongst other things, visited all the farms in their area and advised farmers on ways to improve productivity and which parts of their land they should turn over to arable production. Where the records survive, these give detailed descriptions of local farms and the correspondence they generated from farmers questioning the understanding or even goodwill of the committee members, and can give insights into a wide range of issues that farmers faced. It is possible that this volume was created as part of this initiative.
