Titled "First Light," this picture frames a tractor at the start of the working day, when the morning's fieldwork was about to begin. The subtitle, "a whisper of unremitting demand," hints at the constant pressure on farms to get the land worked on schedule. Tractors spread across American farms in the early twentieth century, replacing horses and mules and changing how much ground one family could plant and harvest. Images like this one record that shift, when machine power became the daily rhythm of rural life.
