Benton first traveled the rural South in the late 1920s, recording scenes of a simple agrarian existence yielding reluctantly to the inventions of modern life. This scene of hill plowing in North Carolina conveys something of the elemental fear of storms in a rural environment, and the daily struggle for survival.
