1939 Vintage Photo of Carrot Harvesting in Imperial Valley
Large-scale agriculture thrives near Meloland in Imperial Valley, California, in February 1939. The image shows a diverse labor force, including Mexican and white workers, harvesting carrots for the eastern market. Workers prepare 48-bunch crates, earning about eleven cents each. An oversupply of labor creates fierce job competition, with many earning under one dollar a day. This photograph is part of the Farm Security Administration and Office of War Information collections.
