EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Potato Picking - July 1946" we are transported back in time to witness a group of Selham Young Farmers gathered around a tractor, their buckets and baskets ready for the harvest. The image, part of the esteemed George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, encapsulates the essence of agriculture during that era. The scene is filled with an air of camaraderie and hard work as these young farmers diligently pick potatoes from the fertile soil. Their youthful energy is evident as they engage in this laborious task with enthusiasm and determination. It serves as a reminder of the importance placed on manual labor in post-war Britain. The presence of machinery adds another layer to this snapshot from history. The tractor stands tall amidst the fields, symbolizing progress and efficiency in farming practices. Its role in simplifying tasks like potato picking showcases how technology was gradually transforming traditional agricultural methods. Notably, children can be seen amongst the group, eagerly participating alongside their older counterparts. This inclusion highlights how farming was not only a livelihood but also an opportunity for families to come together and instill valuable skills and values within younger generations. This remarkable print captures a moment frozen in time—a testament to both human resilience and our deep-rooted connection with nature's bounties. It serves as a tribute to those who dedicated themselves to cultivating good food for their communities while embracing innovation along the way.
