A team of horses pulls a plow across the field in this scene, a reminder of how farm work was done before engines took over the job. Horse-drawn plows like this one had been the standard tool for breaking sod and turning soil for generations, with the farmer walking behind to guide the blade. The picture's place on a board about tractors marks it as a starting point. Over the early twentieth century, gasoline and diesel engines gradually replaced animal power on American farms. Worth noticing is how much physical effort the animals and the farmer shared in every furrow.
