Monarchs of Fields-Combines: Urban Details Series

By using the combine, farmers gained more control over the harvest of their crops. Its efficiency led to larger farms, smaller farm families, less reliance on a neighbour's help, and freedom from weeks of back-breaking and dirty work

"Monarchs of the Fields" looks at history, processes, and changes effected by this innovation in harvest techniques.

Archival photographs of the people and the machines involved make this a special tribute to an important era in farm history.
