With community filmmaker, John Butler behind the camera for once, Flintshire agriculture-heritage veteran, Noel Jones catches up with North Wales tractor enthusiast, Steve Watts. The occasion is the annual Caerwys Agricultural Show held in the rich pastureland around the North Wales village of Babell.  Noel, himself a product of Welsh farming innovation and enterprise tradition, is eager to learn more of Harry Ferguson and the evolution of his legendary, "Fergie Bach" tractor.

This item is an excerpt of an afternoon of event-filming and nostalgic chat with folks attending the show. In due course, the completed film will be deposited with the Flintshire County Archive Office.
