Kim Parks is a farmer and photographer from Ninfield in East Sussex. During the last nine articles that make up this story, we have seen how the farm at Rotherfield was his home growing up, and how he drove Fordson and then Ford tractors on that farm before branching out to become an agricultural contractor, with his own tractors and machinery – as well as helping on the farm, when possible.
