+ Want to read

Danger, both natural and mechanical, is woven into the fabric of farmwork, and sorrow is as common as labour on the farmstead. This title traces the role of haymaking in the lives of five farm families from the mid 19th century to 2000, as a tribute to those who died and those who endured.
