This volume comprehensively describes how British farmers coped
with the problems of shortage of labour and other factors of
production, as well as assessing how well agriculture performed as
a supplier of food to the nation. Use of previously neglected
records provides much evidence on issues such as the deployment of
substitute labour and the introduction of the tractor into British
farming for the first time. Challenging accepted view on the
period, the author shows that shortages of labour and other factors
of production had only a slight effect on farm output and the
national food supply.
