EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Russell Lee in 1940, we are transported back to the agricultural landscape of Delta County, Colorado. The image showcases a group of hardworking farmhands diligently hauling crates filled with ripe peaches from the orchard to the shipping shed. The scene exudes a sense of timeless Americana as men dressed in bib overalls, or dungarees as they were commonly known, labor alongside majestic horses pulling a horse-drawn cart laden with boxes. This snapshot captures not only a moment in time but also reflects the spirit and dedication of those who worked tirelessly on fruit farms during this era. Lee's composition highlights both the beauty of nature and man's harmonious relationship with it. The lush countryside serves as an idyllic backdrop for these diligent workers engaged in their vital task. Their attire speaks volumes about their occupation and way of life – practical clothing suited for manual labor. This photograph is part of the Farm Security Administration collection held at the Library of Congress, which documents American rural life during that period. It stands as a testament to our agricultural heritage and reminds us of the importance placed on farming as an essential industry. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded not only of how far we have come technologically but also how crucial it is to honor our roots and appreciate those who paved the way for modern agriculture.
