Few agricultural scenes in this gallery carry the warm glow of this one, with a combine and tractor working a wheat field as the sun drops low. Mechanized harvesting spread quickly across the American plains and Midwest in the twentieth century, replacing crews of hand laborers who had once cut grain with scythes and binders. Pairing a combine with a tractor reflects how farm machinery came to work in tandem, the tractor hauling and powering while the combine threshed and cleaned the grain in a single pass. Images like this one often capture the shift from horse-drawn and manual labor to the engine-powered fields that defined modern farming.
