Sir – I was interested in your little news item of 75 years ago (May 27) mentioning my grandfather, Mr S. J. Farrant speaking about the limitation of milk production. At that date I was just two months old being the first of his grandchildren.
My father, John Bright Farrant, succeeded him on the Milk Marketing Board for many years, I did not follow but served on the Oxfordshire County Council instead.
The family still farms but this branch no longer milks, our cousins at Eaton though, have a large dairy herd.
Hugh Farrant, Drayton St Leonard
