Agriculture is the world most important industry,
and for 15,000 years man has been making a living from the ground.
In this DVD we look at the changing face of farming in
Ireland from the cruel practise of horse ploughing by the tail, to the
one man operated Fletcher, a crude man powered plough. With the
introduction of steam, during the middle of the 1800's, Irish
farming moved into another gear, and about the same time the American
inventor McCormick was bringing onto the market tools which would change the
face of farming forever.
Superbly narrated by Dr. John Kerr this DVD by John
Thompson brings the old days of farming in Ireland right into your living
room for your viewing pleasure.
