The image shows a black and white photograph of an old-fashioned gas station or farmers' supply co-op. The building is labeled "Farmers Supply Co-Op" with additional signs indicating it offers services such as lubrication, farm supplies, and the sale of Coca-Cola products. In front of the structure are various vintage automobiles, including what appears to be a Model A Ford truck on one side and another older model car parked closer to the entrance. The ground is unpaved dirt, typical for rural or small-town settings in earlier decades.

There's also signage around: "PRESTONE CO-OP" suggesting an oil change service provided here; other signs include those for tires possibly indicating a tire shop nearby or within this co-op facility itself. A solitary figure stands near the truck on the left side of the photo, seemingly waiting or taking a break from driving.

The sky above is clear with scattered clouds and there's no immediate vegetation seen which could suggest an open field setting rather than dense greenery typical in urban settings.

The image depicts seven individuals, presumably farmers, standing in a line against a rustic wooden barn backdrop. The photo is black and white, suggesting it was taken during an earlier time period when color photography wasn't common or accessible to everyone.

All the men are dressed in work attire typical of rural laborers from past decades: overalls with pockets for carrying tools, long-sleeved shirts that protect against sunburn and dirt. Several wear hats, likely as protection from the elements while working outdoors. Their clothing shows signs of use, with some appearing to have stains or marks indicative of their fieldwork.

Their stances vary slightly; some hands are in front, others behind their backs, which along with facial expressions ranging from neutral to slight smiles, suggest a casual and possibly social moment captured just before they disperse for dinner. The men's overalls show different levels of wear, suggesting varying experiences or work styles within the group.

The photo carries historical significance as it was taken by Dorothea Lange during her famous period documenting American life in the early 20th century through photography. This particular image is part of a series capturing cooperative farming efforts among rural communities and highlights themes like community effort, agrarian labor, and economic collaboration at that time.
