Good Farming in Action
by V.C.Fishwick
Published in 1949 by The English Universities Press Ltd.
This is a gem of a book, written by Mr Fiskwick after he took over Staple Farm, Hastingleigh soon after the second world war. The author records in wonderful detail the trials and tribulations of setting up a post war farm. It captures a time in history when old farming ways were being transformed by mechanisation. It contains 50 photographs mostly taken in Hastingleigh that illustrate both the old and new ways of farming. I thoroughly recommend it as a farming history book as well as a window on post war Hastingleigh life.
