The image depicts a black-and-white photograph of two individuals operating large machinery in what appears to be an agricultural or industrial setting. The prominent figure is wearing protective gear, including goggles and overalls with rolled-up sleeves, suggesting they are engaged in labor-intensive work. This person stands on top of the machine holding onto metal rods for stability while their foot rests against a moving belt mechanism.

The second individual is slightly out of focus but appears to be working at another part of the machinery or observing from a distance. The equipment looks like an old-fashioned threshing machine, used in agriculture for separating grains from husks and stems during harvest time. It's mounted on wheels with large tires suitable for rough terrain commonly found in rural settings.

The sky is clear without any visible clouds, indicating it might be taken at midday or early afternoon when the sun would cast harsh shadows, which are apparent in this image. The machinery shows signs of wear and rust, suggesting that it has been used extensively over time.

There's a date "5-28/39" inscribed on the bottom right corner, possibly indicating when the photo was taken or its sequence number within a collection. In addition to the main equipment described above, there are smaller mechanical components visible around them like belts and pulleys th [...]

Bean thresher. Mechanized agriculture between Turlock and Merced, California

The image depicts a vintage black-and-white photograph of individuals working on an agricultural field with mechanized farming equipment. There are five people visible, four operating the machinery and one observing or assisting.

Three men are seated atop large wheels at opposite ends of what appears to be a bean thresher machine, pushing it through the field using long-handled levers or rakes. Their attire suggests manual labor in an agricultural setting: hats for sun protection, boots, rolled-up pants likely to prevent dirt and debris from clinging to them.

Two additional men are on the ground near one end of the machinery's trailer bed. One is standing with a tool that looks like a pitchfork used for moving crops or hay, while the other appears to be guiding or controlling the machine using levers connected to it.

The equipment includes large wheels and what seems to be a hopper at its rear where collected grains are likely deposited. The field has been recently plowed but is not yet sown with seeds; the soil shows signs of recent agricultural activity, such as rows being created for planting crops or ruts from previous machinery operation.

The image depicts a vintage scene of agricultural machinery from the early 20th century. In the foreground, there is a large mechanical thresher with various gears and belts visible, suggesting its complex mechanism for processing crops such as wheat. There are two individuals in the image; one person appears to be operating the machinery while another seems to be observing or assisting.

The background shows an expanse of flat land that is likely a farmland. The sky is overcast, suggesting it might be late afternoon or early morning, which is common for agricultural activities. This image captures a moment in the history of mechanized agriculture, illustrating the transition from manual to motorized labor in farming practices.

Bean thresher. Mechanized agriculture between Turlock and Merced, California

The image captures a group of men engaged in agricultural work. They are standing around an old-fashioned thresher, which is a piece of machinery used for harvesting crops like beans. The men appear to be dressed in traditional farming attire, with one individual wearing overalls and another wearing a hat.

The thresher itself is quite large and appears to have been constructed from metal parts. It has a cylindrical body and a conveyor belt that seems to be moving the harvested crop. The men are standing on what looks like a dirt ground, typical of farm settings.

There's no visible text in this image. The overall scene suggests a time when mechanized agriculture was still relatively new, and it gives us a glimpse into the history of farming practices.

We went to the annual toy train show at the country fairgrounds in Turlock, which is always fun. #modelrailroad #turlock #trainshow #trains

O-gauge train layout with a ton of brightly colored industrial structures. The focus of the pic is meant to be a Southern Pacific streamline engine, but there are also an SP diesel and a steam engine with coal tender on a track loop further in, and a Western Pacific caboose on a track loop further out.
