Gasoline tractors pulling plows of 12 to 16 inches across the field turn the ground on the John B. Siemer Farm in Harmony Township, near Casselton, North Dakota. Casselton sits in the Red River Valley, where large grain operations were common in the early twentieth century and where gasoline tractors gradually took over heavy fieldwork from horses and steam engines. The record does not give a date, and its subject tags are unverified, so the picture is best read as a view of mechanized farming in that region and period. It is part of the Wittemann Collection in the Library of Congress.
