An ll-part television history of Britain at work in the 20th century.
7: Working the Land
Old film, and personal testimony from farmers and farm workers show the changes that have taken Place on the land. When Suffolk farmworker
Len Sharman began, he ploughed one acre a day, with a single furrow:
'We thought they were good days then, but we didn't know any different. Looking back on them today, I can't see anything good about them. It was only slavery, slogging for very little money'.
Today one man and a tractor can plough up to 60 acres in a day.
