Song of the Plough is a 1933 British drama film directed by John Baxter and starring Stewart Rome, Rosalinde Fuller and Allan Jeayes. An English farmer is saved from financial ruin when his dog wins at a sheepdog trials. It was later re-released with the alternative title Country Fair.

The film was a quota quickie made for distribution by the American company MGM. It was filmed at Shepperton Studios with location shooting on a Sussex farm. It received a poor review from The Observer critic C. A. Lejeune, but she was forced to withdraw this following a large number of letters in support of the film. The film proved unexpectedly popular when it was released.[1]
