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.Click to see a sample of the illustrations Photo 1, Photo2, Photo3
