Sowing by hand from a seed bowl, Upper Bavaria 1937

An old man in a felt hat and a long work coat walks towards the lens across a dark, harrowed field at the edge of a wood, a shallow metal bowl slung from his shoulder on a cord; he takes a handful and flings it out with a turn of the wrist. In close view his fingers sink into the grain heaped in the bowl. Broadcast sowing by hand, as old as the Bible, was still common on small farms that could not afford a seed drill.

Period: c. June 26, 1937–October 8, 1937
