EDITORS COMMENTS
Harvesting milo maize, Tulare County, California," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1938. The image portrays a group of agricultural workers, predominantly men, toiling in the fields under the sun, harvesting milo maize using horse-drawn carts. The cost of harvesting using this traditional method was reportedly ten dollars per acre, while the Farm Security Administration (FSA) had purchased a cooperative harvester in the county, reducing the cost to six dollars per acre. The Great Depression had hit the agricultural sector hard, and the image serves as a poignant reminder of the economic struggles faced by farmers and laborers during this period. The image is a testament to the resilience and determination of the rural workforce, who labored long hours under challenging conditions to provide for their families and communities. The scene is set against the backdrop of vast, golden fields of milo maize, with animals grazing in the distance. The image is a snapshot of rural life in America during the 1930s, a time of hardship and perseverance. Dorothea Lange's masterful composition and use of light and shadow add depth and texture to the image, making it a valuable addition to the historical record of American agriculture during the Great Depression." This photograph is part of the Dorothea Lange Collection held by the Library of Congress, Washington D.C. and was taken by Dorothea Lange, born Dorothea Margaretta Nutzhorn, also known as Lee Russell. The image is a powerful reminder of the human spirit and the enduring power of agriculture, even in the face of economic adversity.
