I dont know if its the same letter, but my GrandFather used to talk of an American President in times past trying to recruit Scottish farmers------as opposed to crofters----- and there is a real distinction.
Speaking as a farmer, the history of farming in Scotland in the more suitable farming areas have a proud reputation of innovation and agricultural skills that was in the past and still is, second to none. So I can quite see the sense of someone of influence in a young and developing Country exploring the possibilities of recruiting much needed skills in food production from outwith its bounderies.
