A farmer guides a plow pulled by a donkey through a field still standing with corn, a pairing that was more common on small family holdings than on large commercial farms. Donkeys and mules were often chosen for their hardiness and their ability to work in hot, dry conditions with modest feed. Scenes like this capture a period when hand-guided implements and animal power still shaped daily labor across much of rural America, before tractors became standard on most farms.
