EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Dorothea Lange takes us back to the year 1939, amidst the vast sugar beet fields near Ontario, Oregon. The image showcases a hardworking crew diligently loading a truck destined for the Nyssa factory. As we delve into this snapshot of American agricultural history, we are reminded of the immense significance of farming during that era. The photograph highlights not only the sheer size of the sugar beet field but also its remarkable productivity. With an average yield exceeding sixteen tons per acre in this region, it is evident that these farmers possessed exceptional skills and dedication to their craft. Lange's composition captures a moment frozen in time - men working together harmoniously against an expansive backdrop of farmland. Their weathered faces and sturdy postures speak volumes about their resilience during challenging times, as America was still grappling with the effects of the Great Depression. As we admire this piece from Heritage Art collection at Congressional Library, it serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's agricultural heritage and how it shaped rural communities across America. Through Lange's lens, we witness not just farmhands laboring tirelessly but also glimpse into a way of life deeply connected to nature and rooted in hard work. This print stands as a testament to Dorothea Lange's ability to capture both human emotion and historical context within her images. It invites us to reflect on our country's past while appreciating those who dedicated their lives to cultivating our land.
