Corn Planting

Don Ultang

Des Moines Register & Tribune

The man driving the horse-drawn planter, right foreground, was the 'headache' in making this picture. Each time Mr. Ultang's plane approached the earth, the farmer would get off his rig and wave, rather than continue his work. The situation was further complicated because the photographer-pilot had only one piece of unexposed film when he made this shot.
