Summary
Pathe synopsis: Automation is finding a place in modern farming, and at this farm in [Frostenden] Suffolk, which specialises in the production of peas, we can get an example of the way new methods are improving efficiency - such things as a mechanical harvester that gathers the pea vines and loads then on to trailers, while another machine shells them and discards the foliage.
