EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage image, taken in Wisconsin, USA during the early 1900s, showcases the backbreaking labor of farming during an era when innovation was just beginning to transform the industry. The scene depicts a group of farmers meticulously laying drainage tiles, a crucial aspect of agricultural development in the region. Drainage tiles were essential for preventing waterlogging and improving soil quality, allowing farmers to cultivate more land and grow crops more efficiently. The photograph captures the raw beauty of rural America during this period. Farmers, dressed in their work clothes and hats, are seen carefully positioning clay pipes, each one connected by a piece of straw to ensure a watertight seal. A lantern lies nearby, casting a warm glow over the scene, hinting at the long hours spent toiling in the dark. In the background, a tractor, a symbol of the modern age, stands ready to assist in the laborious task. The image is a poignant reminder of the dedication and perseverance required to farm the land in the early 20th century. The farmers' focus and determination are palpable, as they work together to ensure a successful harvest. This photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a captivating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the daily lives of farmers during this transformative time in American history.
