For 250 years, farmers have been a vital part of the nation and an important part of the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula, where fields and farms have often been worked by generations of the same family.
As a way to celebrate 250 years of U.S. agriculture, specifically its history in the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula, the Rappahannock Record and Southside Sentinel are asking for reader-submitted photographs which may appear in the upcoming Bay Heritage supplement.
A field of soybeans blowing in the breeze at sunrise, a combine thrashing corn at sunset, an old tractor sitting alone in a field or cattle grazing in a pasture—any and all agriculture-related photos are welcome, old or new, color or black and white.
The deadline for submissions is Friday, September 4.
Submit photos with a brief description, including names of people pictured if applicable, by email to editor@rapprecord.com or editor@ssentinel.com. Photos also may be delivered to the Rappahannock Record, 27 North Main Street, Kilmarnock or Southside Sentinel, 276 Virginia Street, Urbanna; or sent to the Record, PO Box 400, Kilmarnock, VA, 22482, or the Sentinel, PO Box 549, Urbanna, VA, 23175.
