EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Harvesting milo maize, Tulare County, California," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the 1930s during the Great Depression. The image depicts a group of agricultural workers, mostly men, toiling in the sun-scorched fields of Tulare County, California. They are harvesting milo maize, a type of cereal crop, using traditional horse-drawn methods. The cost of harvesting using this method was reportedly ten dollars per acre. In stark contrast, the Farm Security Administration (FSA) had recently purchased a cooperative harvester for this county, which significantly reduced the cost of harvesting to six dollars per acre. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the economic struggles faced by farmers and agricultural laborers during this period. The men in the image appear focused and determined, their faces etched with the exhaustion of long hours under the relentless sun. Horses, a common sight in rural America at the time, pull the cart filled with milo maize. This image, taken by Dorothea Lange, is a testament to the resilience and hard work of the American agricultural community during the Great Depression. It is a powerful reminder of a time when the cost of harvesting was a significant concern for farmers and laborers, and the use of horse-drawn vehicles was a common practice. Today, this photograph is an essential piece of American heritage, showcasing the rich history of agriculture in the United States.
