Book excerpt: Profound Changes took place in British Agriculture between 1875 and 1914. After the prosperous years of the mid-nineteenth century came a period of difficulty for landowners and farmers, with falling prices, lower rents and untenanted farms. Previously attributed to bad seasons and increased food imports, this book questions whether the unexpected depression was rather the evolutionary upheaval of a system forced reluctantly into change. Undoubtedly there was a crisis, in these decades farming ceased to be Britain's major industry; no longer able to supply all her own food, the country came to depend increasingly upon imports. Methods changed, cereal production yielding pre-eminence to pastoral farming. In recent years scholars have challenged traditional interpretations of the crisis, seeking a wider range of causes, characteristics and consequences. It has come to be seen as a phenomenon of change as much as of decay. This book brings together different views of the depression, ranging from contemporary evaluations to recent regional and econometric studies which stress its spatial and developmental character. Originally published in 1973, these eight contributions provide a survey of changing approaches to one of the major economic crises in modern history.

This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first major study of English farming in the time of the "agricultural revolution" to be based on the actual records of farmers. These records shed new light on how farmers worked and what they produced. The authors show conclusively that an agricultural revolution did occur in the first half of the nineteenth century. - ;This is the first major study of English agriculture in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to be based on the records of the farmer. Traditionally this was a period of 'agricultural revolution', but generations of historians have found it remarkably difficult to measure its salient characteristics. By bringing together a range of qualitative and quantitative data found in accounts, memoranda books, and diaries, Michael Turner, John Beckett, and Bethanie Afton are able to throw important new light on the way farmers worked, and to produce new estimates of the output of wheat, barley, and other arable crops, and of livestock. The evidence of the farmers' own records has enabled the authors to approach the agricultural history of the period in an entirely different light, and to show conclusively that the agricultural revolution can be located in the first half of the nineteenth century as the English farmer successfully fed a growing, predominantly urban population. - ;The book serves two valuable purposes. Firstly, it draws attention to the volume of information which can be gained from a source which has been too often dismissed as fragmentary and difficult to handle. Secondly, it offers a rather different perspective on farming from that derived from the more-readily-available records of the larger estates and helps to serve as a corrective to some of the more optimistic contemporary views on agricultural progress. - Southern History Society;A volume that ought to find its way on to the shelves of all those who are seriously interested in England's agricultural history, if only because of the splendid survey of recent writing on the subject which it contains ... The authors have given us here an excellent review of recent literature on their subject, and a few new interesting statistics to ponder. - English Historical Review;Michael Turner, John Beckett and Bethanie Afton are among the most prolific and talented historians of English agriculture. - The Agricultural History Review
