Sussex Ox to Fordson Major – a talk by Ian Everest

June Sutherland Chapel

Ian Everest tells the fascinating story of the use of oxen, horses and steam power on Sussex farms, their impact on the countryside and the “modernising” of agriculture with the arrival of the first tractors. Ian was bought up in a farm on the South Downs and after attending Agricultural College in the late 1960s, he worked on farms before joining the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. Entry is free for EPKPS members. Visitors £3, payable on entry (cash only). All admissions subject to availability of seats on arrival.
