1937 Vintage Image of Texas Farmer Driving Tractor

In June 1937, a former tenant farmer in Bell County, Texas, drives a tractor on a large cotton farm. This transition marks a significant shift in agricultural labor practices as mechanization begins to replace traditional farming methods. Workers earned a daily wage of one dollar, reflecting the economic changes of the time. The image belongs to the FSA/OWI Collection, which documents farm workers experiences across the United States.
