The pavilion was designed by Brian O'Rorke and the displays were designed by F H K Henrion. The displays highlighted the division between countrymen and townsmen, yet also the collaboration between farmers, engineers and scientists in the mechanisation and intensification of agriculture. A guidebook for the Festival explained that "Farming is our heritage no less than coal and steel"
