Change on the Land, A 100 years of mechanised farming

The twentieth century has been a time of dramatic change on the land. Technical progress has moved from hay wagons and sail reapers to combines with satellite monitoring systems in less than a hundred years. This revolution has been captured in an outstanding new collection of photgraphs, focusing particularly on the impact that machinery has had on agriculture. Enthusiasts will appreciate the rarity of these photographs, many of which have not been published before. The detailed captions provide a history of the machines and farming methods as well as background information, in  the same style as the author's highly successful Tractors at Work books. Stuart Gibbard is a well-known specialist historian and author of a number of books and videos on farm mechanisation. Stuart Gibbard HB 156 pages 233 photographs
