Description

No one can farm without tools, and the progression from simple handcrafted implements to sophisticated modern machinery is a fascinating story. This title sets in context important local inventions such as the potato planting plough designed by Jean Le Boutillier in 1835 and used for over a century both on flat land and the steep Jersey cotils.
