Jealott's Hill Research Station

From Graces Guide

1928 ICI set up an experimental farm and research unit at Jealott's Hill, near Maidenhead.

The aim of the unit was "the long-term prosperity of agriculture, irrespective of the immediate interests of the Company, since in the long run both are identical".

It published its results freely.

1960s: Its main effort is directed towards crop production in the UK
