THIS ISSUE
CURRENT STAMP ISSUE HISTORIC FARM EQUIPMENT In these technologically sophisticated times, we tend to take the machinery in our lives for granted. So spare a thought for the farmers of 100 years ago who toiled back-breakingly hard to make a living from thei r land - and whose lifestyles were transformed by the arrival of labour-saving machines. In 1904, the Christchurch members of New Zealand's farming community were introduced to the first tractor ever seen on these shores - the American 'Kinnard Haines Flour City'. Initial reaction was subdued, with farmers reluctant to exchange their horses for these new unsafe, untried and farming-unfit machines. However, as it is the world over, change continued on its inexorable path, and by 1929 there were more than 3,300 tractors working pastures throughout the New Zealand countryside. You can witness this changing rural landscape in our new stamp issue, Historic Farm Equipment. Comprising five stamps, a first day cover and a m iniature sheet booklet, it shows and tells a fasc inating story of the innovation and flair that have cha racterised a century of farming equipment.
