An account is given of the production and use of grass in Lancashire, including statistical information relating to acreages and livestock numbers in June, 1963; a map shows the distribution of grassland in the county as percentages of the agricultural area. For convenience the county is divided into 5 areas, each with different farming systems. Reference is made to the Ministry of Agriculture's Experimental Husbandry Farm and its influence on farming in the surrounding districts in East Lancashire.
