Caption by photographer (Andrews): Charles Moore Jr. (foreground) and his son, Terry (on tractor on right), bedding land in preparation for planting. While Terry has run the farm since 1985, his father regularly provides advice. Image is part of "Thirteen-Month Crop: One Year in the Life of a Piedmont Virginia Tobacco Farm," which documents the Moore family farm in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Andrews spent a year photographing the people on the farm, their work, and related activities during one tobacco season between April 2000 and April 2001.
The Jesse Andrews photographs were received by the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library as a purchase in 2003, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2011.
