Grading and packing onions, Rice County, Minnesota
This one was taken in Wisconsin but, included in the notes is "Minnesota Farmer".
Friday, October 15
FSA and OWI.
The Farm Security Administration photographs depict farm life during the Great Depression. Most of the photos that were taken are black-and-white and color photographs in the collection are less extensive. Some of these color photographs are pretty stunning. I only found 2 photographs taken in Minnesota.

A complement to these images is this post, this interview with Elmer "Lindy" Linenberger on The Story. He grew up during the great depression and lived through the dust bowl in Kansas.

My goodness, I've never seen Depression photos that were in color. Thank you so much for sharing these. If you don't mind, I think I may repost them with credits on my blog too.

I found these a while back and just looked at them again. I don't know why but they fill me with an interesting sadness. I drags the humans out of the black and white common, to a more contemporary mode. I feel like I can touch them, they were here, and now they are gone. It really is beautiful.
