EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back to a post-war era in Cowfold, West Sussex. The year is 1945, and four individuals belonging to the esteemed Cowfold Young Farmers Club gather around a pile of turnips with an air of curiosity and determination. Engaged in discussion, they appear deeply engrossed in what seems to be a sludge experiment. Amidst the backdrop of rural farmland, these young farmers epitomize resilience and innovation as they explore new agricultural practices after years of war. Their headscarves symbolize their dedication to hard work and practicality while tending to crops that hold immense importance for sustenance. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents the spirit of rejuvenation that swept across rural communities during this period. As they examine the crop closely, one can almost sense their excitement at discovering new ways to enhance its growth using fertilizers. Preserved by the West Sussex Record Office under Ref. No. Garland N24447, this image serves as a testament to both historical significance and local pride. It reminds us of how agriculture played an integral role in rebuilding societies after World War II while showcasing the unwavering commitment of these young farmers towards nurturing their land for future generations
