Abstract

British agriculture witnessed a period between (1919-1939), which was historically known as the period between the two wars, when agriculture suffered a state of decline in agricultural areas as well as a decline in the value of exports, which resulted in an increase in demand for foreign imports of grain at exorbitant prices. In front of that, the British government did not stand idly by, but tried in every way to support agriculture, by supporting agriculture and farmers, such as the Agriculture Prices Act, which exempted farmers from taxes on some of their properties, as well as the Sugar Subsidy Act, as well as the Agricultural Marketing Act, which worked to control agricultural commodities. Other than that, there has been progress in agricultural methods, such as the introduction of diesel plows instead of horses.
