Mud, Sweat and Tractors: The Story of Agriculture - Fruit and Veg

Wednesday, 22nd April 2009
9pm to 10pm
BBC4

Part 2 of 4

A look at the changes in the way fruit and veg was grown, picked and sold, told through three of the staples in the British landscape - apples, strawberries and tomatoes.

Home movies and archive footage reveal the extent of revolution in how the fruit was picked and the impact supermarkets had on the fortunes of the small and medium-sized growers. It tells a story of personal, commercial and quality disaster as the number of small scale growers has been squeezed to virtually nil over the years. And how the fruit and veg that we now consume is primarily geared towards a uniformity of appearance and long shelf life, and bugger the taste of the thing.

Mud, Sweat and Tractors, The Story of Agriculture ep04 Beef.WnA
Wed 6 May 2009 21:00 BBC Four

Documentary series about the history of 20th century farming in Britain looks at how two of
our finest native breeds of cattle, Hereford and Aberdeen Angus, reigned supreme before the
Second World War and helped earn Britain a reputation as the 'stockyard of the world'. It
also shows how, since then, both breeds have been transformed to a much larger size - from
standing only to the stockman's waist to reaching his shoulder.
