EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the rustic charm of May 1933, capturing a pivotal moment in agricultural history at Little Common Farm. The image showcases a group of hardworking farmers diligently drilling mangolds into the fertile soil using the innovative Smythe Drill. Set against a picturesque rural backdrop, this snapshot transports us to an era where farming was not just a profession but a way of life. The vast expanse of the farm's rolling fields stretches out before our eyes, painted with vibrant shades of green that signify growth and abundance. The focus is on the men operating the drill with precision and expertise. Their weathered faces tell tales of countless hours spent under the sun, tending to their crops with unwavering dedication. As they work together seamlessly, their synchronized movements create an almost choreographed dance amidst nature's symphony. The significance of this scene lies in its portrayal of progress within agriculture during that time period. The introduction of machinery like the Smythe Drill revolutionized farming practices by increasing efficiency and productivity. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this remarkable photograph serves as both a testament to our rich agricultural heritage and an ode to those who shaped it through their tireless efforts. It reminds us that behind every bountiful harvest lies generations' worth of knowledge passed down from one farmer to another – wisdom etched into each furrowed brow captured in this timeless image.
