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

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 farm in Sussex. It received a poor review from The Observer critic C. A. Lejeune, but she was forced to withdraw this following numerous letters in support of the film. The film proved unexpectedly popular when it was released.^[1]
