- This is land farmed by my in-laws, Mick and Pat - and this image is what their highly fertile, intensely farmed land looks like. They grow wheat, sugar beet, rape seed and spuds, sometime onions, daffodils\n\nWhat if . . . their crops fail? What’s the impact on us?\n\nWhat if . . . they decided to eat locally produced food?\n\nNote: In Grandad’s time, farmers there weren’t wealthy, quite a lot was subsistence farming, plus produce to placess like Leicester and Peterborough. \n\nThe War changed things, including lots of land girls drafted into the area to do the labour.\n\nIt was labour-intensive until combine harvesters. Around 1980, I saw a potato harvester for the first time, doing the rounds of the local farms. One man, a great big machine and large fields of spuds from ground to branded bag in a few hours.\n
