ANTHONY HURD
The farming talks this season are to he given by Anthony Hurd, one of the younger generation of farmers. It is ten years since he started farming on his own account near Marlborough in Wiltshire, but ten years is no time in the life of a farmer. He has taken a full part in the agricultural activities of the county, having been chairman of the county branch of the National Farmers' Union three years ago. He is now a member of the Council, also chairman of the Wiltshire Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs.
Combining journalism with farming Anthony Hurd has been Farm Editor of The Field since 1924, and later he was appointed Agricultural Correspondent of The Times. Monday's agricultural page is a feature well-known to many farmers and towns-people. They will from now on be listening to him on the air on Monday evenings.
This evening, in his second talk, he is to discuss farming in Sweden where he spent some time last month.
