A red tractor sits alone under a sky washed in dusty orange, the kind of light that comes up when dust hangs thick over open land. Tractors like this one became a common sight across American farms in the early twentieth century, replacing teams of horses and mules and changing how fields were plowed, planted and harvested. Pictures of machines against a stormy or dust-heavy sky are often read as a record of the Dust Bowl years, when drought and wind stripped topsoil from the Plains, though this image's record does not confirm that setting.
