Description

On the outbreak of the First World War farming was on the brink of ruin. By the 1960s, it was thriving once more. Events in Britain and beyond changed agricultural life, as farmers lived through half a century of debts, economic slump and two world wars. Farming emerged much stronger, but it had been changed forever. This DVD includes: memories from farm workers, rare footage of early machinery, The Women’s Land Army and scenes from Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. Re-live this bygone age with this majestic production.

N.B. This title has been repackaged by the original producer as ‘Feeding the Nation’ but the DVD content remains exactly the same.
