Harvest

The photographs on this page show the end result of months of labor in the fields. Grains, fruits and vegetables are pictured, along with the some of the people responsible for their cultivation and harvest. Many of these photographs are the work of Dave Carter, former editor of the Rocky Mountain Union Farmer, who went on to serve as president of the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union in the 1990s.
