Descriptive Information

Title
Harvesting Corn with Horses  
Description
Piles of corn ears lie on the ground of a harvest row. A team of horses stands at the end of the row of harvested corn and the rest of the unharvested field is on the left.  
Interpretation
Before combines came into use, a team of oxen or horses was used to harvest corn, still on the ear. Later, the corn was removed from the ear via the combine.
