1937 Vintage Image of Tractors on Aldridge Plantation

In June 1937, twenty-two tractors operate on the Aldridge Plantation in Leland, Mississippi, marking the shift from traditional farming to mechanized agriculture. This transition reduced labor demands, displacing 130 tenant farming families. The image serves as a document of the significant changes in cotton production and the agricultural landscape of the American South during the 20th century.
