EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment in Time: Stooking Oats on Exmoor, Near Porlock, Somerset, 1971 This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the 1970s rural past, as a man and a young boy work together to stook oats in a field on Exmoor, near Porlock, Somerset. The scene is one of simple, honest labor, as they carefully arrange the ripened oat crops into neat, conical stooks to dry in the sun. The man, dressed in braces and a red jumper, wears a cap to shield himself from the elements, while the boy, wearing a similar attire, looks on with curiosity and determination. Their faithful dog, a loyal companion, joins them in the field, adding a touch of playfulness to the scene. The trio work in harmony, each playing a role in the agricultural process that has been passed down through generations. The rolling hills of Exmoor, with its lush greenery and picturesque landscape, serve as a beautiful backdrop to this idyllic moment. The oats, once dry, will be harvested and processed for use as animal feed or human consumption. This photograph is a testament to the rich agricultural heritage of Somerset and the hardworking spirit of those who lived and worked on the land. It transports us back to a simpler time, a time when the rhythms of nature and the bonds of family and community were the cornerstones of daily life.
