Millions of peaches
A farmer hauls crates of peaches from the orchard to the shipping shed in Delta County, Colorado, in September 1940. A revolution was happening in American agriculture. Farmers became much more productive in less and less time. The reasons for this were better machines, new varieties of crops and livestock, new pesticides and better irrigation techniques.
