HARVEST project on BBC 3 Counties Radio

The project (Hertfordshire Agriculture: Researching a Victorian Enterprise for a Sustainable Tomorrow)  draws on both the transcribed diaries and the digitised financial records to allow Business School students to explore what John White was doing, in a time of depression in farming, which allowed him to prosper while many others struggled. This will allow them to present suggestions to inform those dealing today with similar problems, while the museum will be able to draw on the analysis done by the students to present with authority the story of John White's life and times in and around south west Hertfordshire.
