France is one of Europe’s largest
agricultural nations. Its agricultural
production is highly varied, ranging
from wheat to wine, from rice to sugar
beets. The two film-makers Jörn and
Tammo Gläser have visited the country’s
most interesting regions with their
cameras at various times of year and in
a three-part DVD series they present
cutting-edge agricultural machinery set
off against impressive landscapes.

AGRICULTURE IN FRANCE VOL. 1
This first part begins in the spring
with soil preparation and sowing. This
involves numerous agricultural machines
that are typical for France, recorded
by the film-makers from the ground and
from the air. Learn more about the
significance of alfalfa cultivation or
watch close up as a machinery
contractor harvest peas. Cutting-edge
agricultural equipment in impressive
landscapes – a mix that’s sure to
impress!

AGRICULTURE IN FRANCE VOL.2
The second part begins with the cereal
harvest and a visit to a large fodder
drying company in Brittany, in the very
north-west of France. The film shows a

working in the field and takes you on a
trip to other regions of France. One of
the highlights is the wheat harvest
with one of the world’s largest combine
harvesters in front of the vineyards of
Champagne, in addition to a visit to a
dairy farm in the French-speaking
province of Quebec in Canada.

AGRICULTURE IN FRANCE VOL.3
Part of this film series shows a wide
range of cutting-edge agricultural

the soil to the wine harvest near to
Bordeaux. The film-makers also visited
a historical maize harvest festival and

machines are used to harvest beans in
Belgium.
