Crop rotation: harvesting corn, 1855
Crop rotation: harvesting corn, 1855. Reaping with a scythe, binding and stooking. Crop rotation is the practice of growing different crops alternately on the same patch of ground over a cycle of several years in order to protect the health and fertility of the soil. In Norfolk a 4-course system of crop rotation was practised, with wheat planted the first year, followed by turnips, then barley, often underplanted with grass or grass and clover ley to be used for hay or grazing in the fourth year

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Crop rotation: harvesting corn, 1855" takes us back in time to witness the traditional farming practices of the 19th century. The image showcases a group of hardworking farm laborers engaged in reaping with scythes, binding sheaves of corn, and stooking them together. The photograph highlights an essential agricultural technique known as crop rotation, which aimed to maintain soil fertility and health. In Norfolk, England, farmers followed a four-course system of crop rotation. The cycle began with wheat planted in the first year, followed by turnips in the second year and barley in the third year. To further nurture the land's productivity during this process, grass or grass mixed with clover ley was often underplanted for haymaking or grazing purposes in the fourth year. As we observe this scene from history unfold before our eyes through this monochrome engraving, we are reminded of the immense dedication and skill required for successful farming during that era. Each farmhand meticulously carries out their assigned tasks using tools like rakes to gather crops efficiently. This remarkable print serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and our deep connection with nature's cycles. It allows us to appreciate how past generations worked harmoniously with their surroundings while striving to ensure sustainable agriculture for future generations - a timeless lesson worth cherishing even today.
