This photo print, captured by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, showcases the resilience and unity of American farmers during a challenging era. Titled "Seven of the eight farmers shown with their cooperatively owned ensilage cutter on the Miller farm" this image transports us to West Carlton, Yamhill County, Oregon. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a group of hardworking men dressed in bib overalls and hats, epitomizing the quintessential American farmer. Their weathered faces tell stories of determination as they stand proudly beside their prized machinery - an ensilage cutter. This cooperative venture symbolizes not only their shared commitment to farming but also their ability to adapt amidst economic hardships brought about by the Great Depression. The composition exudes a sense of camaraderie as these farmhands work together diligently to fill the silo with harvested crops.
