Seventy-Year-Old Farmer in Texas 1938

In June 1938, a seventy-year-old tenant farmer in Goodliet, Texas, stands on the land he has cultivated for seventeen years. He faces displacement due to mechanization, a significant issue for many farmers at the time. His family experiences the effects of agricultural policies, with one son already displaced and another selling livestock to manage.
