This photo print, titled "Harvesting at Stopham - 1939" captures a moment frozen in time. The image showcases the toil and dedication of a hardworking farmer as he carries a sheaf of wheat towards the fence, ready to be propped against it. This simple act symbolizes the culmination of months of laborious work in the fields. The photograph is part of the esteemed George Garland Collection, housed at West Sussex Record Office. It serves as a poignant reminder of our agricultural heritage and offers a glimpse into rural life during that era. The attention to detail is remarkable; you can almost feel the weight of the sheaf and sense the farmer's exhaustion after hours spent under the scorching sun. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported back to an age when farming was not just a profession but a way of life. It reminds us of how vital agriculture has always been for sustaining communities and providing nourishment for all. Let this evocative image serve as an ode to those who have dedicated their lives to working on these lands—tirelessly tending crops, harvesting bountiful yields, and ensuring food security for generations past and present
