Plant, Grow & Harvest – Farm Machinery in Action

From the days when we were all very small we were told that we need to eat our vegetables, and there is no doubt that they are a vital part of a healthy diet and one that can be produced here in the UK. A key place for that is on the rich soils to be found in and around the Fens of Eastern England and we’ve been out in the fields of Lincolnshire, Norfolk and Cambridge, where they Plant, Grow and Harvest crops like peas, broccoli, brussel sprouts and root vegetables as well as that other staple of the British diet, potatoes, ready to be sold to customers all over the country.

This programme features a range of tractors in action including John Deere 6430, 6820, 6830, 6930, 6140, 7530, 7930, & 8430; New Holland T6020 & T7 270; Fendt 720 & 724; JCB Fastrac 2140 & 2155; Claas 620 Arion and a McCormick TTX230; all using a range of equipment for ground preparation, de-stoning, planting, drilling, harvesting and handling.
