Books by Peter Dewey

From broad-cast seed and the sound of the threshing flail, right through to the modern world of giant tractors and combine harvesters this book for the first time tells the compelling story of the industry and the magnificent machines that changed the way farming and food production worked around the world.

Peter Dewey considers every aspect of the period in his rich survey, from international trade, changes in landownership and the impact of mass communications and finds a much more positive picture than is often portrayed.
