Farming Diaries - v. 3 : Last Harvest

See all formats and editions

A fitting tribute to tenant farmers everywhere, this programme is the third in the Farming Diaries series from Tractor Barn. In this DVD, tenant farmer Ted Fenner takes us through his last year of farming oats & barley, his principal machinery being MF 390 and 590 tractors and an MF 525 combine. After Ted gives up the tenancy, a nearby estate takes over the farm and amalgamates it with its own, much larger operation.
