EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time on Lee and Sons Downs Farm, located near the picturesque village of Amberley, atop the rolling Sussex Downs. The image showcases the arduous task of ploughing up a rather dry one year ley, covering an impressive expanse of 22 acres. As the tractor gracefully maneuvers through the rugged terrain, its machinery effortlessly tills the land, preparing it for what lies ahead. The significance of this scene becomes apparent as we learn that kale will soon be drilled into these freshly turned furrows to sustain a thriving dairy herd. It is fascinating to witness how agriculture intertwines with nature's cycles and demands constant adaptation from farmers like those at Lee and Sons. Taken on May 19th, 1959 by Topography, this photograph not only provides us with a glimpse into farming practices of yesteryears but also serves as a testament to human resilience and determination in harnessing their surroundings for sustenance. The timeless quality captured by this image allows us to appreciate both the beauty and challenges presented by working on such vast expanses of land. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, let us reflect on how our agricultural heritage has shaped our present-day understanding of sustainability while acknowledging the hard work that goes into providing food for our tables.
