EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Dorothea Lange transports us back to the year 1939 in Yamhill County, Oregon. The image captures a moment of cooperation and hard work as farmers feed corn into a cooperatively owned ensilage cutter. Standing near W Street at Carlton, these American agricultural workers are dressed in their practical bib overalls and dungarees, attired for the laborious tasks that await them. The photograph not only showcases the industrial aspect of farming during this era but also reflects the economic hardships faced by many during the Great Depression. As part of Lange's documentation for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this image serves as a poignant reminder of both resilience and unity within rural communities. The composition emphasizes the concept of cooperation, with each farmer playing their role in ensuring a successful harvest. Their determined expressions reveal their dedication to their job, highlighting their connection to both land and livelihood. Dorothea Lange's artistic eye beautifully captures this slice of American heritage, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. Through her lens, we can almost hear the rhythmic hum of machinery mixed with conversations between farmers as they work together towards a common goal – sustaining themselves and their community through agriculture. This powerful photograph from Heritage Images is an enduring testament to human perseverance amidst challenging times while reminding us of our shared history rooted in hard work and collaboration on America's farms.
