Old-style farming in the spotlight at Highbridge harvest show

-

A vintage Hay and Harvest Show in Highbridge showed visitors how farming was done 50 and 100 years ago.

The show was held at Isleport Farm on Saturday and Sunday to raise money for Somerset and Dorset Air Ambulance.

Enthusiasts were able to view a collection of steam engines, tractors and farming machinery from days gone by.

There were also demonstrations of how haymaking, harvesting and cultivation would have been carried out between the 1900s and the 1960s.

“The first day of the show was hit by the wet weather but we had a good turnout of interested spectators on Sunday,” one of the organisers told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
