EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the George Garland Collection takes us back to a simpler time in rural West Sussex. It showcases an idyllic scene of harvest season at Balls Cross, circa 1939. A group of hardworking farmers are diligently loading bales of hay onto a cart, which is hitched to a vintage tractor driven by an enthusiastic young boy. The image exudes the essence of agriculture and farm life, capturing the essence of manual labor and teamwork during this crucial period. The sun-kissed field serves as their stage, where these skilled individuals reap the rewards of their year-long efforts. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not only the physical strength required for such tasks but also the passing down of knowledge from one generation to another. The small boy behind the wheel embodies youthful determination as he dons his cap with pride while maneuvering the tractor through rows upon rows of golden crops. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's vast archives, this photograph reminds us that our agricultural heritage is deeply rooted in hard work and dedication. It allows us to reflect on how far we have come while cherishing those who paved the way for modern farming practices
