Assist Attachment Binder Fields Finland Folk Generally Grain Harvesting Mower Reaping
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in Finland in the year 1909, showcases the traditional harvesting process in rural communities during that era. The image depicts a man skillfully operating a mower with a reaping attachment, which was commonly used instead of a self-binder in Finland due to the small size of their grain fields. The women folk, dressed in their traditional attire, can be seen in the background, assisting in the harvesting work. The mower, with its large, sharp blades, efficiently cuts down the ripe crops, while the reaping attachment gathers the harvested grain into neat rows. This labor-intensive process was a vital part of Finnish agricultural life, and the collaboration between men and women ensured a successful harvest season. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of farming practices in Finland during the early 20th century.
