1954 Fordson Major at Banbury Steam Fair http://www.banburysteam.com at Bloxham in Oxfordshire UK on Sunday 28thJune 2010 ,the first tractor in the demonstration ring on Sunday afternoon. Not many people at the show saw it because they were watching England in South Africa get knocked out of the 2010 football world cup by Germany on the TV in the beer tent . Its not strictly speaking square wheeled but the shape varies between maybe between a 6 sided hexagon , rectangle , rhombus , parallelogram, trapezoid , so its much simpler to say square wheels . The rear wheels were called Rotopad. Converted by Rotary Hoes Ltd., later called Howard Rotopad tracks. They are a type of track unit to achieve a Low Ground Pressure for working on soft surfaces. They were designed to replace the wheels on a tractor .The machine was used for cutting trenches in which originally were laid clay pipes for land drainage. These machines were developed over the years, certainly until the late 60s at which time they would be laying continuous plastic pipe, which of course is still used in land drainage today. This machine is a drainage trencher used for digging a trench the trencher which then laid the pipes as it moved slowly along putting clay pipes into wet land. After the pipes had been laid a tractor with a trailer having a side blade came along pushing the soil back into the trench. The machine is a Standard Fordson tractor with tracks that walked the machine along subsequently giving it better traction with less pressure on the ground than a wheeled type . They may look cumbersome but they were excellent when the going was wet . A slow motion clip at the end of this video,see if you can work out how the Rotopads work . http://www.banburysteam.com http://www.youtube.com/user/7779trevor How to Get Email Notifications of New Videos from a User You Subscribe To on YouTube Hi thanks for watching this video , If you liked it and would like to see more please subscribe to Trevor Ridvidd , also want to know when I upload a new video and receive a email notification, you need to 1) Subscribe to Trevor Ridvidd 2) Sign in to your utube channel 3) Go to your Subscriptions page by Clicking on your Channels name ( on top right Hand corner ) 4) Click on Manage subscriptions (On the left hand side lower screen) 5) Put 2 tick in Trevor Ridvidd box's (Email me about new uploads and show only uploads in feed " this box will put new uploads at top " ) cheers Trevor Ridvidd Good Detailed article on this subject http://m.wikihow.com/Get-Email-Notifications-of-New-Videos-from-a-User-You-Subscribe-To-on-YouTube

John from http://www.growingyourgreens.com/ goes on a field trip to a public playground / park to share with you how kids can not only play on the jungle gym, swings, slides and rock climbing wall, but also feast on delicious fruits, vegetables, nuts and herbs after getting their physical activity. John believes that every playground, public park and public space should be growing edible plants that can not only look beautiful but also be productive but more importantly teach people where food comes from: Mother Earth. After watching this episode you may just be inspired about what is possible at a playground or what you can do at your home to teach you and your family about growing food and eating healthfully.

On television screens and newspaper front pages around the world, the stories out of Africa are often filled with doom and gloom. And while the reality of life for many Africans is often difficult, there are success stories to share and inspire others. This 13-part televsion series, produced in cooperation with IFAD, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation and Dev.tv, presents just a few.

Ever wonder how Pecans are harvested? This Video will show you how! Here in Green Valley, we use the latest and greatest in farming equipment technology to ensure the freshness and taste of our pecans. Unlike most fresh produce, which is harvested during the summer months, pecans and other nuts wait until fall. For pecans, harvesting waits until the first hard freeze of winter. This first freeze kills off the green protective shuck around the nut itself causing it to open and expose the pecans inside. It is at this time when harvesting will begin.

US sanctions against Iran have a strong ally in liberal billionaires, the Resnicks, since they control production of American pistachios--which are the chief competition of the Iranian nuts. We look at the connection between them in this news clip from Buzzsaw with Tyrel Ventrua and Tabetha Wallace.

The hunt's nutcracker, I bought is a great machine 2010 for cracking black walnuts or any hard nuts, and it even got better with a new dayton motor now attached I bought in June. Best black walnut, butternut and hickory nut cracker I have ever owned. It operates smoothly and allows very precise nut cracking. This is an old school device that makes sweet work of a hard job...breaking those hard black american walnuts.

A South Georgia pecan tree was the runt of a batch that was planted 20 years ago. Since then, the Monitor's Rick Treptow reports, it's been proven to have such great characteristics, that the future of the entire pecan industry could radically change. Here's Rick's story.

New varieties of peanut cultivars are allowing farmers to produce high quality crops with higher yields than ever before. Along with those benefits, farmers are also able to get their fields planted a little sooner. The Monitor's Mark Wildman explains.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and that means plenty of turkey, dressing, and of course, pecan pie. Georgia is the nation's leading pecan producing state, so growers eagerly anticipate each harvest. The Monitor's Damon Jones takes us to one Middle Georgia farm to see how the crop turned out.

http://www.ntv.co.ke Farmers in Embu are warning there may be a shortage of macadamia nuts in the region early next year, owing to the purchase of nuts before their maturity by unscrupulous middlemen. A number of farmers in the region are selling their harvests to get their hands on quick cash and in the process losing out on much better prices that their produce would have fetched had they sold it when mature. Ntv's Alex Mwangi with more details.

Peanuts The peanut, or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea), is a species in the legume or "bean" family (Fabaceae). The peanut was probably first domesticated and cultivated in the valleys of Paraguay. It is an annual herbaceous plant growing 30 to 50 cm (1.0 to 1.6 ft) tall. The leaves are opposite, pinnate with four leaflets (two opposite pairs; no terminal leaflet), each leaflet 1 to 7 cm (⅜ to 2¾ in) long and 1 to 3 cm (⅜ to 1 inch) broad. The flowers are a typical peaflower in shape, 2 to 4 cm (0.8 to 1.6 in) (¾ to 1½ in) across, yellow with reddish veining. Hypogaea means "under the earth"; after pollination, the flower stalk elongates causing it to bend until the ovary touches the ground. Continued stalk growth then pushes the ovary underground where the mature fruit develops into a legume pod, the peanut -- a classical example of geocarpy. Pods are 3 to 7 cm (1.2 to 2.8 in) long, containing 1 to 4 seeds. Peanuts are known by many other local names such as earthnuts, ground nuts, goober peas, monkey nuts, pygmy nuts and pig nuts.Despite its name and appearance, the peanut is not a nut, but rather a legume. The domesticated peanut is an amphidiploid or allotetraploid, meaning that it has two sets of chromosomes from two different species, thought to be A. duranensis and A. ipaensis. These likely combined in the wild to form the tetraploid species A. monticola, which gave rise to the domesticated peanut. This domestication might have taken place in Paraguay or Bolivia, where the wildest strains grow today. Many pre-Columbian cultures, such as the Moche, depicted peanuts in their art. Archeologists have dated the oldest specimens to about 7,600 years, found in Peru.Cultivation spread as far as Mesoamerica, where the Spanish conquistadors found the tlalcacahuatl (Nahuatl = "peanut", whence Mexican Spanish, cacahuate and French, cacahuète) being offered for sale in the marketplace of Tenochtitlan (Mexico City). The plant was later spread worldwide by European traders. Although the peanut was mainly a garden crop for much of the colonial period of North America, it was mostly used as animal feed stock until the 1930s.In the United States, a US Department of Agriculture program (see below) to encourage agricultural production and human consumption of peanuts was instituted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. George Washington Carver is well known for his participation in that program in which he developed hundreds of recipes for peanuts. Copyrights : MrZygy3

Every January through March our pine trees get shaken until they let their pine cones fall to the ground for us to collect by hand, put into trucks, and send off to a factory that processes them. The final product? Lovely white pine nuts that everyone adores for making pesto, fancying up a salad, and decorating the tops of pastries. This beautiful 13 ton machine functions using oil pressure to maneuver the pincer, which grabs the tree near the base. Then, when the pincer is securely clamping the tree, by applying gas the tree gets shaken. The tree must be shaken slowly at first and then be given a faster shake twice for five to ten seconds. Then that's enough. What doesn't fall from the tree is left without insisting further. For more information, visit us at: www.tenutasancarlo.com

Every wet season in the Western Amazon, Peru's castañeros (brazil nut concession holders and harvesters) gather the huge brazil nut fruits from the forest floor, crack them open to extract the nuts inside, and carry them out of the forest to market. It's physically hard, and there are dangers -- from wild animals to falling nuts. But owning a Brazil nut concession is also a responsibility: owners have to defend their forest from incursions by Brazil nut thieves or illegal loggers. Every Brazil nut you've ever eaten was gathered from the Amazon rainforest by a castañero -- and they want you to know more about their lives.
