EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Herbage Seed Production - about 1944" offers a glimpse into the agricultural landscape of wartime West Sussex. The image depicts a group of dedicated operatives diligently tending to the herbage seed production, under the watchful eyes of several farmers. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the resilience and determination that characterized British agriculture during the 1940s. With their sleeves rolled up and faces etched with concentration, these individuals play an essential role in sustaining both local communities and national economy during challenging times. The backdrop of war amplifies the significance of this scene. As bombs fell from above and rationing became a way of life, every grain counted towards securing food security for a nation at war. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how crucial crop cultivation was to support not only soldiers on the front lines but also civilians back home. The method employed by these farmers reflects their expertise honed over generations – an amalgamation of traditional wisdom passed down through families intertwined with innovative techniques developed amidst wartime constraints. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this remarkable image encapsulates an era defined by sacrifice, resourcefulness, and unwavering commitment to sustenance. It stands as testament to those who tirelessly worked behind-the-scenes to ensure that even amid turmoil, crops flourished and hope endured
