Land Army recruitment

The Land Army was a government-organized effort during wartime, primarily in WWI and WWII, to recruit civilians—especially women—to work in agriculture. Its goal was to maintain food production when many farm workers, often men enlisting in the military, were absent. Recruits performed vital tasks like planting, harvesting, and tending to livestock, helping ensure food supplies for the nation and the war effort. The Land Army provided training and employment for those willing to support national needs, highlighting a collective effort to sustain civilian life during difficult times.
