Children gather potatoes on a large farm in the vicinity of Caribou, Aroostook County, Maine, in October 1940. During these times, children would go back to school for a few weeks, then school would break so they could help harvest the potatoes.

Kids today need to learn this stuff. And get their faces out of the games. My dad grew up on a farm. When I was young I no interest in learning anything he could teach. Now he can't teach me/help me with as much stuff as he knows. Teach while they are young the life lessons that will stay with them forever.
Kids in Aroostook county still get out of school for a few weeks in the fall to harvest potatoes
