German Farmers Baling Hay in Alpine Country
Image
German farmers baling hay in southern Germany's Alpine country. The men are using an International D-214 tractor with mower and wagon. Original caption reads: "High in southern Germany's Alpine country, mechanized farm equipment is rare but modern engineering produces machinery like this McCormick International tractor and mower that operate efficiently even at high altitudes. The expanding economy of the big city is spreading to remote areas like this and industrious Germans are quick to adapt the latest technology to their specific interest."
circa 1960-1969
International Harvester Company
