Rows of freshly turned soil stretch away behind a tractor, with its driver seen from behind as he steers the plough along the furrow. Mechanized ploughing like this began replacing horse teams on many farms in the early 20th century, when a single machine could break ground faster than a team and needed only one operator. Images of this kind document that shift, and the view from behind the driver puts the viewer in his place, looking down the long line of the work.
