muleteam

A lot of great work here. I like this one because the funny element.

It looks like they are distributing some type of powder insectiside via the back of a wagon. This shows how tough it was to do farming before John Deere came along. I live in the south and believe me there is no air or swimming pool nearby for them to dip in.

Not sure what is funny? This is probably rock phosphate which would change the ph of the soil.

these really should be color-corrected.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Social Documentary Photography & events, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

a shot from a time when real men did real work.

Hey, isn't this the inside cover of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils first album? Also, pretty sure it's the mules doing the "real work", Miss Hazel. It's an eternal curse that God put on man (and the Earth)... so farmers today still toil, no question. The fertilizer appears to be lime and the value of that Springfield wagon today, would probably buy "the family farm". On an un-related note you are very photogenic and my photo makes me look better than in real life. But if you're into "real men" without all their own teeth (i.e. hillbillies) then please reply!!!

Must be a heavy load to require 4 mules. My grandfather farmed all his life and never had more than two.

i Hate add a note, attracts morons
