Farming Year: Europe (Part 1, Spring), The

Synopsis: Cameraman and farm machinery enthusiast Sascha Jussen goes to his native Germany as well as France, Belgium and Holland, to film a DVD series that shows clearly how farm machinery is used throughout the seasons in 21st century Europe. The programme shows a range of the latest equipment in action along with many older machines that are still used in the countryside. Part one charts the spring workload with tractors ploughing, cultivating and drilling, large self-propelled machines spreading fertiliser and injecting slurry as well as sprayers and tractor mounted fertiliser distributers. As the months pass the crops being planted include spring-sown cereals, lettuces, chives, sugar beet, potatoes, flower bulbs and maize. With a huge variety of tractor makes and models at work and some fascinating equipment including asparagus hillers and roof mounted bulb hoppers, this programme is a real must for anyone interested in farm machinery.
