    The New Holland tractor plant based at Cranes Farm Road, Basildon, Essex, celebrates 60 years of continuous production this year.

    As part of the commemoration, the company is looking to collect any memories the broad farming community has of the plant, its products and its impact over the decades.

    Former employees, suppliers and farmers and farm workers who have been impacted by the plant, whether in New Holland or as it was formerly known Ford, are encouraged to send their memories – written, photographic or video – to newhollandukroi@cnh.com
