Shot on 8mm film in 1939, this vintage footage captures agricultural workers operating early harvesting machinery in a California field. Two men stand atop a large combine harvester while another operates a tractor, all engaged in the harvest under a bright sky. The grainy, monochrome image shows the dusty, labor-intensive process of early 20th-century farming, with visible film grain and edge damage characteristic of home movie footage. This archival clip offers a nostalgic glimpse into rural American agriculture during the Great Depression era.
