This Tall: 1936
July 1936. "John Frederick of Grant County, North Dakota, shows how high his wheat would grow if there were no drought." Medium-format nitrate negative by Arthur Rothstein for the Resettlement Administration. View full size.
Blessed With Tractor
At least this farmer had a tractor. At that time, my grandfather was farming in South Dakota using horse-drawn machinery. He didn't get his first tractor till 1940 or so.
Oh yes
This one brings back memories, not of the 1930s, but of the 5-year drought we had in Kansas when I was a boy (1952-57). I wish I could see more of the tractor and the combine. The tractor may be a John Deere D two-cylinder. My father operated a Case Model P combine in the late 1930s. His dad drove the tractor and my father stood on a platform turning a wheel (which looked like a ship's wheel) to raise and lower the header. He said it was miserable work--breathing chaff and dust all day.
They was this tall
had grey skin, a little mouth and great big eyes, landed their saucer right over yonder where that big circle is burned into the crop!
