FARMING TRACTOR DVD: A YEAR FARMING WITH JOHN DEERE - Part one

DVD: A YEAR FARMING WITH JOHN DEERE Part one ---Chris Lockwood\n\nThis is a two-part DVD series following a year with contract farming operation Reed Agriculture. Based in North Suffolk, the business covers 3000 acres and uses almost exclusively John Deere machinery.\n\nInterviews and narration describe more than 100 sequences over the course of the two programmes. Particular emphasis is placed on showing the impressive array of modern equipment used, with nearly 60 machines featured over both discs, including more than 40 tractors with examples from most of the popular John Deere ranges produced during the past 10 years.\n\nThe soil types are very variable, ranging from light sand to heavy clay, and consequently a wide variety of crops are grown including wheat, barley, oilseed rape, sugar beet, peas, grass, parsley, onions and potatoes.\n\nPart one covers the period January to May, beginning with the harvesting of the remainder of last year\u2019s sugar beet. A variety of cult.
