EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, we are transported to the rural landscape of West Carlton, Yamhill County, Oregon. The image showcases a powerful scene of cooperation and hard work among farmers during the Great Depression era. A group of dedicated farmhands can be seen working together to feed corn into an ensilage cutter from a wagon. With precision and unity, they ensure that the corn is blown through a pipe into the silo for storage. This display of teamwork exemplifies the spirit of cooperation that was necessary during challenging times. The composition beautifully captures the essence of American agriculture in the early 20th century. Horses stand patiently nearby, symbolizing their integral role in powering agricultural machinery before industrialization took over completely. Dorothea Lange's lens skillfully documents not only the physical labor involved but also hints at deeper economic implications. The image serves as a reminder of how farming communities relied on each other for survival amidst economic hardship. Preserved by Heritage Images and housed within the Library of Congress' Congressional Library collection, this photograph stands as a testament to both Lange's artistic talent and her commitment to documenting America's history during one of its most trying periods – capturing moments that would otherwise fade away with time.
