Description
Photograph of laborers at work in cotton field near California City, ca.1960. A man sits on the top of a metal cage in the left foreground while a sea of tall plants extends out behind him. A man wades through the plants at center while a large machine is driven through them in the background. Mountains and trees can be seen in the distance. The area's rich soil yields a higher than average cotton crop per acre.
