Nantgwynfynydd Isaf Farm - cattle and beets, dog and cat, hedging and hay
A new tractor is delivered, ‘Agriquipment’ demonstrate hedging but then disaster strikes: a muddy road brings down a lorry load of hay.
From the collection of:
Overview
A new, red Massey Ferguson tractor is delivered to the Davies family farm at Oakford, Llanarth, Ceredigion, the deliveryman skillfully driving it off the lorry, but things do not go so well for a wagon load of hay bales which comes a serious cropper perhaps owing to the muddy track. Animals on the farm also have good times and bad: a cat and dog play remarkably together; cows enjoy eating beet tops; a young calf suckles happily, but rabbits get hunted by lurchers and ferret.
