Title

Threshing on the T.B. Emmert Farm, 1898, Cedar, Iowa; Mahaska County

Description

Much of the livelihood of Mahaska County, and for that matter, Iowa, has depended on farming, and the success each year brings. Pictured here is a scene on T.B. Emmert's farm in the small community of Cedar, Iowa, in 1898. The process that is taking place in this picture is called threshing, where a machine or tool is used to separate the seed or grain from the crop; in this case, wheat.
