EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the winter of 1963, where a powerful tractor is seen diligently clearing snow on Fitzleroi Farm in West Sussex. The image, captured by the talented photographer George Garland and preserved in the esteemed Garland Collection at the West Sussex Record Office, encapsulates the essence of farming life during this rural era. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we are transported to a time when agriculture heavily relied on machinery like tractors to combat harsh weather conditions. The frosty landscape serves as a stark reminder of the infamous "big freeze" that gripped Britain during that period. The Massey Ferguson tractor stands tall amidst vast fields covered in thick blankets of snow. Its robust frame and sturdy wheels effortlessly plow through nature's icy obstacle course, ensuring that crops remain accessible and protected from freezing temperatures. This snapshot not only showcases the resilience and determination of farmers but also highlights their unwavering commitment towards sustaining agricultural productivity even in challenging circumstances. It serves as a testament to their dedication and hard work throughout history. With its timeless appeal, this photograph offers an insightful glimpse into our agrarian past while reminding us of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements within farming practices. It is truly an invaluable piece capturing both beauty and functionality within one frozen moment in time.
