Agriculture Act 1920
The Agriculture Act 1920 (10 & 11 Geo. V c. 76) was an Act of Parliament in the United Kingdom passed in December 1920 by the Coalition Government. It was designed to support price guarantees for agricultural products, and to maintain minimum wages for farm labourers. However, it proved ineffective; the guarantees were abandoned in July 1921, with the relevant parts of the Act repealed, and the price of wheat crashed from 84s 7d a quarter to 44s 7d within one year - a drop of 48%. The next attempt to fix agricultural wages would be Labour's Agricultural Wages (Regulation) Act 1924.
