EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the rural landscapes of Burton in March 1939. The image showcases a crucial moment in agriculture, as we witness the drilling of sugar beet with precision and care. In this snapshot, a single horse-drawn drilling machine steals the spotlight, accompanied by three men who play their part in this timeless farming ritual. The scene unfolds with one man leading the majestic horse forward, guiding it through the fields with expertise. Behind them stand two other individuals diligently tending to the drill, ensuring that each seed finds its rightful place within the fertile earth. Their commitment to their craft is evident as they work harmoniously amidst nature's embrace. This photograph from George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office offers a glimpse into an era when manual labor was integral to agricultural practices. It serves as a reminder of how farmers relied on traditional methods and close collaboration between man and animal to sow crops successfully. Transporting us back to simpler times, this image captures not only an essential aspect of farming but also reflects upon our deep-rooted connection with nature's cycles. As we admire these hardworking individuals shaping our food supply chain, let us appreciate their dedication while acknowledging how far we have come since those humble days on rural farms like Burton in the 1930s.
