Synopsis

Transforming British farming through science, labor, and policy to feed a nation. This edition draws on passages that illuminate how arable farming became central to the country’s economy, science, and civilization, shaping the future of agriculture.

The excerpts show how modern methods—fertilizers, better livestock, and new machinery—were combined with organized labor and government action during a pivotal era. They reveal the challenges and reforms that helped farmers boost tillage, manage resources, and respond to wartime needs, while weighing the costs and risks of dramatic change.

• How arable farming tied together crops, livestock, and manure for stronger yields


• The role of science, fertilizers, and tractors in expanding cultivated land


• Public campaigns, labor programs, and the Land Army shaping rural work


• Policy debates on enclosure, wages, and agricultural support during wartime

Ideal for readers of agricultural history, policy, and rural life who want a clear picture of how farming adapted to modern pressures.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.
