Not street, but interesting, Rayyan. Last time I saw a guy with a wooden plow (but with a steel share) was in Ubon, Thailand in 1964.

A farm. About life in other parts of our planet.

I agree that this is "not street."  Not because the setting is rural, but rather because the image has a documentary rather than a narrative character.

My own definition of street photography admittedly is rather expansive:

Quote
Street photography documents ephemeral, unposed interactions in public spaces between people, or between people and their surroundings, in a way that implies a narrative instead of simply depicting what was in front of the camera’s lens.  The narrative may be explicit or implicit, obvious or subtle, literal or ironic, and subject to varying interpretations by different viewers.  Animals or objects may take the place of people if their relationship with other elements in the photograph contributes to the narrative.  Similarly, the interaction need not take place in a street or an urban environment or even outdoors.

I don't care whether the setting is indoors or outdoors, urban or rural, or the photo is monochrome or color.  If it tells a story, however ambiguously or subjectively—both of which are desirable characteristics in this genre—it's street to me.
