Dust hangs behind a tractor as it drags a set of disc harrows across an open field, the rotating steel blades turning the soil into a loose, level seedbed. Disc harrows were a staple of mechanized farming in the early twentieth century, when tractors began replacing draft horses and mules on American farms. Breaking up clods and cutting through crop residue before planting was slow, hard work, and a picture like this captures the moment when machinery was taking over that labor. Look closely at the gang of discs and the churned furrows behind them to see how the field was prepared.
