Come, ye thankful people, come;
Raise the song of harvest home.
All is safely gathered in
Ere the winter storms begin…
-- Henry Alford, 1810-1871

November is a time of harvest, when the crops of the field have been gathered into barns and silos, beet dumps, warehouses and grain elevators. The Colorado Agricultural Archive exhibit this year focuses upon agricultural records that have been gathered for preservation in the archives. Historic photographs and documents from the Colorado Potato Growers Exchange, the Colorado Grain and Feed Association, the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union, the Potato Administrative Committee, the Great Western Sugar Company, and the Rocky Mountain Bean Dealers Association highlight harvest-time in the Colorado Rocky Mountain West. This exhibit will run through November 30th in the Archives and Special Collections reading room (Room 202) of Morgan Library.
