	304 lecture 6
		Some historians stress that agriculture was already undergoing evolutionary change, but that this was speeded up by enclosure, particularly the parliamentary enclosures of the 18th century.
		A three-year cycle was followed on each of three fields, with an autumn-sown crop such as rye or winter wheat, a spring-sown crop such as oats or beans, and a year of lying fallow.
		As the lecture explains, such field systems are part of a process which allows the development of all kinds of new technologies - machinery, rotations and, eventually, synthetic agro-chemicals - allowing a permanent reduction in labour inputs in British farming.
