By the end of the eighteenth
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work , the growth of industrial towns made it necessary for agriculture to be
run more on 'business' lines - in the same way as
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work , coal and textiles. Great changes were
brought in on the land which resulted in an
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work revolution. Major changes included the
introduction of new
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work to put goodness into the soil, crop rotation, selective breeding to
produce
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work animals and efficient land drainage.
However some improvements in
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work would lead to trouble for the workers. By the 1800s there had been
several

in
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work [?] . Following years of high taxes, inflated bread prices and low wages, farm
labourers finally snapped in 1830. These farm labourers had faced
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work for a number of years due to
the widespread introduction of enclosing the fields and bringing in of agricultural machinery.
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work meant that not as many men were needed to tend the crops and so unemployment rose. Traditionally much
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work work was threshing wheat by hand but threshing machines were introduced which also meant some employment was lost.
With fewer jobs,
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work wages and no prospects of things improving for these workers the threshing machine
was the
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work [?] straw, the object that was to place them on the brink
of
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work .
Crisis came in the 1830s when the
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work was poor, wages were further cut and employment rose. Workers
reacted by sending threatening
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work to farmers and burnt ricks, barns and machines. The movement was
called Captain
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work and the name came from the letters which were often signed Captain or Swing in an
effort to hide the leaders'
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work . The riots beame widespread in the south and east of the country.
Major landowners were concerned about their
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work and got military assistance in crushing the riots. The
Home
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work , Lord Melbourne, reacted vigorously; nine labourers
were
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work and over four hundred transported to Australia.
Incomes of farmers rose in the first half of
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work Victoria's reign as improvements were made. However
those of the labourers did not, especially for the southerners. They lived in terrible poverty and needed to find more employment. So as the
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work changed from rural to urban the workers went to the towns to search
for
agricultural century crops Enclosure farming fatter final hanged harvest identity iron Kent landscape letters lower property Queen riots Secretary starvation Swing unemployment winter work .
