Exhibition Label: "Claimed: Land Use in Western America," Jun-2007, Kate Meyer “The driver sat in his iron seat and he was proud of the straight lines he did not will, proud of the tractor he did not own or love, proud of the power he could not control. And when that crop grew, and was harvested, no man had crumbled a hot clod in his fingers and let the earth sift past his fingertips. No man had touched the seed, or lusted for the growth. Men ate what they had not raised, had no connection with the bread.” John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath, 1939
