Description
Full title:A dramatic scene in the cornfield as good neighbors help one another on farms in southern Wisconsin near Elkhorn. Two tractors are shown, one pulling a power binder cutting green corn which will be stored in a silo as winter feed for stock. The power binder cut the corn and feeds it through an elevator on to still another tractor pulled wagon. George Shoji, formerly a resident of Rohwer Relocation Center, drives the tractor for the leading wagon and George Ike, also from Rohwer, unloads corn stalks off elevator on to a wagon. A neighbor is operating the tractor-pulled binder. Shoji and Ike are sharecropping a 120-acre vegetable farm together with Ike's father-in-law, Joseph Sakamoto. They are shown here helping a neighbor. Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru Elkhorn, Wisconsin.
