Fordston Tractors

This episode shares how the Fordson tractor helped change farming around the world, especially in the Soviet Union. The Fordson tractor was created by Henry Ford to make farming easier and faster. After the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, the Soviet Union needed better tools, so they ordered many tractors and even started building their own. In the end, the Fordson became a symbol of big change and growth in farming.
