I occasionally hang on to damaged stamps and this week I am glad I do as I have two of them to share for this farming post.
My first stamp is from a series on horses but some of these were used for farming purposes.

| Great Britain - Shire Horse |
That's a plough in the background so we know what this one was used for.
One of my damaged stamps shows Mechanical Farming.

| Great Britain |
The horse depicted on this stamp issued for the Millennium could even be a Shire Horse. I am always on the lookout to obtain this undamaged.
I found a stamp from India showing tea plucking in progress. I guess you could call a tea plantation a farm.

There is a lot of hard work in progress on this farming stamp from Vietnam.

North Borneo became a Crown Colony in 1946; now a State in Malaysia it changed its name to Sabah in 1964.

| North Borneo (Sabah) - Farm Cattle |
You might say that my last (damaged) stamp was not intended as a 'farming' stamp but I would say it depicts a farming activity from long ago.

| Spain - 2000th Anniversary of the Foundation of Caceres |
Norba Caesarina was a Roman city in Spain. Caceres is close to the Spanish border with Portugal.
To see more farming stamps you need to trot over to Viridian's Sunday-stamps-163.
