The National Agricultural Advisory Board created several experimental farm centres in the 1950s: Drayton, some three miles from Stratford-Upon-Avon, was one of them. From the 1940s Drayton Manor Farm formed part of what was known as the Grassland Improvement Station. In 1955 it became one of the experimental farms, set up to provide facilities for the conduct of field experiments, especially those of a long-term duration or concerned with livestock. This publications contains analysis of those experiments and farm performance for 1968.
