|aFarming to halves is the English version of sharefarming, a system of letting land common in Europe and the New World, but thought not to have existed in England. Indeed Arthur Young claimed itwas the point ofdifference between English and French agriculture, which explained thesuccess of the former and failure of the latter. However, Young was mistaken: forms of sharefarming existed in all periods, at every level ofsociety and across the length and breadth of the country. This discoveryentirely alters our perceptions of English rural communities, the development of English agriculture and the relationships between landlords and tenants, and farmers in general. Sharefarming English style differed from that in Europe because it remained largely informal and rarelyappears in documents. Even when it does appear, historians, misled by Arthur Young perhaps, have failed to recognize its significance. In this way, a stratum of farming life and activity has been lost. This book recovers that hidden history with far reaching and unexpected implications for our understanding of English rural life both in the past and present.
