The development of farming, man and his animals, horsepower, machinery, and the ever-changing visual texture and pattern of the English countryside throughout the farming year. Commercial practice is examined at three very different enterprises during a farming competition, plus the Aylsham Agricultural Show, a traditional day full of lively events, livestock, horse jumping, heavy horses, classic tractors, a flying octopus, a tug of war... and typical country characters!

Filmed in 1995, now a piece of history in itself, this is one of our Golden Archive Series.
