Machinery Modernising Agriculture: Power On The Land - 1943 Documentary
The Mechanisation of Agriculture - 'British agriculture is the most mechanised in the world. Root crops are picked by machinery; machines reap, bind and thresh the grain; the new mechanised methods of planting and watering vegetables are contrasted with the old. Land is reclaimed by machinery to meet today’s need for increased food production.'
