Plowing with a tractor against a backdrop of mountains puts this scene in the early twentieth century, when gasoline and kerosene tractors were replacing horse and mule teams on American and European farms. The long, straight furrows cutting across the foreground show how mechanized tillage changed the rhythm of the growing season, letting one operator turn ground that once took a team and driver many days. Worth noticing is the contrast between the small, dark machine and the broad, indifferent landscape behind it, a common visual theme in documentary photographs of agricultural modernization.
