Description: A harvesting scene of long ago. This type of farm machinery, pulled by 34 mules and driven by a jerk line driver, seen here near San Luis Obispo, was found on Carissa Plains. The golden wheat fields still flourish and a rich harvest was expected in 1967. Types of this old farming machinery are still driven in the Paso Robles Pioneer Day parade on October 12th, but it is getting more difficult to find the mules and a driver with the skill of handling a jerk line team.
