Baling Straw The Old Fashioned Way

A sound thrashing. It's 2012 in Cambridgeshire and they are baling like their forebears. Not for them the joys of modern farming technology. Far more fun, the spinning wheels of death and fury, the parching dust of the hay and the quenching ale at the end of the day.
