1941 Portable-Type Hop Picker in Yakima County Fields

A vintage image from September 1941 showcases a portable-type hop picker in Yakima County, Washington. This photo documented the shift from manual to mechanical harvesting. The efficiency of the machine allowed fifteen men to replace one hundred hand pickers in the same hours worked. It is part of the FSA/OWI Collection.
