Men Plowing Field
Image
Probably a first plowing of land after the trees and stumps have been removed by grubbing. Many roots still remain, and the "breaking plow" turns a wide furrow and is equipped with a sharp "coulter" to cut the roots. Breaking takes a lot of power, consequently there are two teams of six horses pulling the plow.
