Beet Lifting Through The Ages
Sugar beet harvesting has changed dramatically over the near-century that the crop has been grown in Britain, and this production records those changes. It was once one of the worst jobs on the farm. The roots had to be pulled up by hand, knocked together to remove as much soil as possible, topped with a large knife and thrown into a horse-drawn cart. All done in autumn and winter conditions that could include hard, dry ground, thick mud, snow or driving rain. DVD092
