A weekly agricultural magazine for those who live by the land.
There has been a big increase since the war in the number of farmers keeping a flock of sheep. Yet modern methods of breeding and husbandry are still the exception. Eric Lamming of the School of Agriculture, Nottingham University, investigates some of the latest practices and introduces films made on the farms of Oscar Colburn and John McArthur in Gloucestershire and on the University Farm.
