This book is about the diminishing number of England's rich variety of traditional farm animals, an area of concern that is attracting growing support, illustrated and written by a wildlife and landscape artist and campaigner for the preservation of the English countryside. Gordon Beningfield has produced a hundred new paintings of which farm animals are the main feature, by scouring the country in search of Gloucester Old Spot, Middle White and Tamworth pigs, Buff Orpington and Light Sussex chickens, English White Park cattle, Southdown sheep, Suffolk Punch horses and many other breeds that either have become rare, or are simply not frequently seen. The author's previous books include "Beningfield's English Landscape", "Beningfield's Countryside", "Beningfield's Butterflies", "Hardy Country", "The Darkling Thrush" and "Poems of the Countryside".

This is the first book to feature every Farmall model. It chronicles the background of McCormick-Deering and International Harvester and outlines the beginnings of IH's production of the treasured Farmall tractor from its inception in 1923 (the lightweight, general purpose row-crop tractor that could literally 'farm all') until the last model rolled off the assembly line in the mid 1970s. Highlights include stories of the innovative spirit of the 'McCormick Men', the battle with John Deere to produce the best-selling, most popular tractor, and the challenges IH faced when the 560 and 460 models failed in the field. This comprehensive volume also includes descriptions and hundreds of colour photographs of all models, complete with performance comparisons (based on the University of Nebraska tests); chronicles the exciting beginnings of International Harvester; and places IH events in a larger historical context. But wait, there's more! The text is complemented a mix of artwork: fabulous current colour photographs, historic black-and-white images, period ads, brochures, and collectibles.

Allis-Chalmers' history is as rich as the Persian orange paint that graced its farm tractors for nearly six decades. From its beginnings in the farm equipment business in 1914 to its rise as the third largest tractor producer in sales in 1936, Allis-Chalmers has been known for innovations in design and sales and distribution. This is a one-of-a-kind book for collectors, historians, and tractor enthusiasts, providing a detailed history of the company's legacy along with over 100 spectacular photographs. Illustrations include black-and-white historical photos, colourful period advertising artwork, and contemporary colour photographs of collectible tractors. The book covers all models from 1914 on, including the Monarch and Advance-Rumely models. Peterson and Grooms also discuss Allis-Chalmers' various acquisitions and the mergers, plus the current ownership by FiatAgri of Italy.160pp.
