Weeding:
Successful crop growing is a battle against
the threat from weeds. They have to be kept in check if the young plants
are to have a chance of prospering.
Before the twentieth century, when chemical treatments provided a further
option, this job had to be done either mechanically or, very laboriously,
by hand. For all the time it took, however, hand hoeing could produce
excellent work. The photograph shows a field of turnips being hoed on
a Yorkshire farm in 1945.
