{"product_id":"farming-in-fathers-day","title":"Farming In Father's Day","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA family farm, on the Fenland border of Norfolk and Cambridgeshire, was a busy place in the 1940s and 50s. The farmer was an enthusiastic user of new machinery, including an International tractor bought in 1928 and a Cockshutt combine acquired in 1947, but he was also a great fan of heavy horses, particularly the traditional East Anglian breed, the Suffolk Punch. Fortunately for history and for us, he was also a keen cameraman, who filmed life and work on the farm. With the help of his sons, who farm on the same land today, this DVD shows their father’s farm at a crucial stage in its history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eGangs of men and women are seen hard at work in the fields, doing jobs that have now long since been mechanised. Horses are still plentiful, and a steam threshing set was hard at work, but Farmall tractors, IH crawlers and the combines are gradually taking over. The cropping included grains for sale and for the livestock; beet, peas and potatoes as cash crops, and fodder beet for the Lincoln Red cattle kept on the farm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAs the ‘boys’ look back at Farming in Father’s Day, we too can enjoy a unique glimpse of a style of farming that has gone for ever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Becksdvds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58877570056524,"sku":null,"price":16.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0856\/5932\/0652\/files\/farmingfathersday.jpg?v=1789769085","url":"https:\/\/becksdvds.com\/products\/farming-in-fathers-day","provider":"Becksdvds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
