Ploughing with a single ox, Upper Bavaria 1937

On a large ploughed field below a line of deciduous trees and spruce, a pale ox in a neck collar draws a wooden-wheeled plough while a farmer walks behind holding the handles; as it passes, a second view shows the animal plodding on across the furrows. Tractors were still rare on German farms in 1937; the work of the fields was done by horses, oxen, cows and people.
