- Title
- Borchert Combine on Front Acreage c. 1950s
- Description
- In the mid-1950s, the rhythmic discharge of grain from a Borchert combine marked the height of the harvest season on the Haushalter farm. Positioned on the front acreage, the machine faces the wooded descent of "The Gully"—the natural, deep dip in the landscape that served as the farm's topographical spine, dividing the front acreage from the eastern back acreage. This view captures a moment of mechanical progress set against a landscape defined by its ancient, rugged contours: the wooded hollow where a dirt road once dipped down to cross a modest bridge over a seasonal trickle of water.
