Description

Short footage of farm workers and a large group of men following a tractor as it harvested sugar beets from the fields in the Moneymore area. This was an experiment in the growing of sugar-beet but it was deemed a failure as the ground was too wet for the crop to thrive. The men in the field are likely to be representatives of the Farmers' Union and other groups come to see how the beet fared. The experiment was not repeated.

Credits

An Ulster Television Production.
