Potato pickers, near Shafter, California, 1937. Creator: Dorothea Lange

Near Shafter, California. Potatoes are dug by machines and strewn on the ground as the digger goes down the rows. The picker puts the potatoes into sacks suspended from their waist between their knees. The sacks are loaded onto the field trucks and taken to the sheds for sorting and grading. Potato pickers earned forty cents an hour in 1937
