Lines of tractor tracks cut across a harvested field in this aerial view, the stubble and furrows showing as a pattern of light and shadow from above. Photographs taken from the air of farmland were uncommon before the mid-twentieth century, when aircraft and cameras made it practical to survey crops, land use and soil from overhead. Such views are valued now for showing how mechanized farming reshaped the landscape, with tractors replacing horses and fields laid out for wide equipment passes. Look closely at the curves of the tracks, which record the paths of machines working the ground row by row.
