Following the enormous success of 'Dig for Victory', MAFF launched 'Grow More Food', a similar wartime campaign aimed at farmers. Swiftly shortened to 'Growmore', the project included a series of leaflets which remained in distribution well into the 1950s to ease the after-effects of wartime and later rationing. All Growmore leaflets are now scarce, especially in clean condition.
