EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Alec Paterson, we are transported back to the 1970s where the essence of agriculture and competition intertwine. The photo showcases Mr William Davies of Penderyn, a man deeply engrossed in his craft as he participates in the Centenary Horse and Tractor Ploughing Match organized by the Mynyddislwyn Agricultural Society near Pontllanfriath. With furrowed brows and unwavering focus, Mr Davies epitomizes dedication as he meticulously ensures that his furrows are perfectly straight. Every muscle in his body seems to be engaged, reflecting both physical strength and mental concentration required for such an endeavor. The image not only highlights one man's determination but also encapsulates the spirit of farming during that era. It serves as a reminder of how machinery revolutionized traditional agricultural practices while still honoring age-old techniques like ploughing. As we delve into this nostalgic scene, we can almost hear the rhythmic sounds of horses' hooves or tractors churning up earthy soil. The photograph transports us to a time when farmers showcased their skills with pride at local competitions like these. Alec Paterson's lens has immortalized this moment forever, allowing us to appreciate the hard work and passion embedded within our agricultural heritage. This print is not just a snapshot frozen in time; it is an ode to those who dedicated their lives to nurturing our land through generations past.
