PLOWMAN by Tom Clark

"Every good farmer knows how to take care of his equipment. It isn't enough to be a plowman, you have to be a blacksmith as well. Thanks to John Deere, the cast iron plows of the 17th and 18th centuries were replaced with steel in 1837. Since then, it has been easier to till the rich soil of hills and bottom land. This typical Plowman is inspecting his work. The design of the plow would often change depending on the soil conditions of each farm. I'm indebted to Norman Rockwell for his painting of a blacksmith contest which inspired me to make my version of a farmer working on his plow."
