The black and white photograph captures a rural scene featuring an old tobacco barn with wooden rafters extending over the top. Underneath, there's an assortment of farm machinery including what appears to be tractors or farming equipment partially concealed by tall grasses and weeds in the foreground. The setting suggests this photo was taken on a working farmland surrounded by trees indicative of North Carolina’s countryside. There are inscriptions at both sides of the image with non-Latin script, likely providing additional context regarding the location or subject matter within the photograph.

The image depicts a field of tobacco plants in the process of being prepared for further cultivation. The landscape is vast, with rows upon rows of mature tobacco plants standing tall against an overcast sky and trees lining the horizon. This black-and-white photograph has been captured from a slightly elevated perspective, showing both the height of the plants as well as their dense arrangement. The soil beneath appears dry and somewhat cracked, indicative of either drought conditions or simply typical field preparation practices for tobacco farming. The ground shows signs of previous cultivation activity with evidence of prior rows where the plant growth is not yet fully developed. This particular image falls under Zollie Lyon's collection related to North Carolina’s agricultural activities, specifically highlighting a portion of Wake County as being involved in this type of crop production during that time period.

The court just ruled that the fed govt can’t spend #NorthCarolina’s $200m in disaster preparedness money elsewhere while our lawsuit against #FEMA plays out.

FEMA broke the law when it cut these millions that our communities were using to repair water & sewer systems and prepare for the next storm.

Why in the world is #NorthCarolina’s GOP legislative majority pushing a bill that would ban state and local election officials from encouraging the public to get out and vote in elections? That’s just slimy…and anti-First Amendment (i.e., unconstitutional). NC, let’s make our voices heard!

Thom Tillis’ decision not to run for reelection is another blow to Republicans’ chances as they face a #midterm backlash that puts their majority at risk. Even Tillis admits the GOP plan to slash Medicaid/spike costs for families is toxic & in 2026, Democrats will flip #NorthCarolina’s Senate seat.
