Abstract
The switch to cereals, and the associated decline in acreage devoted to fodder crops, especially crops other than grass, characterize British farming of the 1960s. So much so that an article dealing with fodder crops may seem out of place. The present survey indicates their diversity, their value, their potentiality alongside conserved grass, and their use as a break-crop for continuous cereals. In this context the contribution will have more than historic interest.
