Farming has changed enormously in the past 100 years. Older farmers recall milking and shearing by hand, harvesting using threshing machines, building a haystack, ploughing with horses and the purchase of their first tractors. In contrast, modern farms are highly mechanized and fewer hands are needed to run the farms. Tractors and harvesting machinery have grown in size, cost and complexity but the deep affinity between farmers and the landscape in which they live and work remains unchanged.
 
This book celebrates the rich heritage of farming in the Clwydian Range. The story is told largely through the use of evocative photographs, coupled with personal memories from local farmers. Whether you have a farming background or just appreciate the rural landscape, you will enjoy dipping into this beautiful book.
