14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
A John Deer tractor left out during busy haying season.

This tractor is used so much during the haying season that my grandfather, the owner, leaves it outside our quonset all day. It is old, something I know because it has sat outside my home during this season for as many years as I can remember. He has managed and worked his ranch, including land around my home and much, much more, his entire life. Now 90 years old, he is still here working bright and early in the morning every day with my uncle and cousin.
