Sorting and packing tomatoes at the Yauco Cooperative Tomato Growers Association, Puerto Rico, 1942. This photograph by Jack Delano captures a moment in time when agricultural laborers diligently worked together to sort and pack ripe tomatoes. The image showcases the hard work and dedication of these farmers as they meticulously handle crates filled with vibrant red fruits. Taken during the 1940s, this photo provides a glimpse into rural life in Puerto Rico during that era. The Yauco Cooperative Tomato Growers Association served as an important organization for local farmers, promoting cooperation and collective efforts to improve their livelihoods. In this still image, we see both men and women dressed in traditional clothing attire while engaged in their profession. Their rustic apparel reflects the simplicity of rural life at that time. The indoor setting reveals an organized packing room bustling with activity, highlighting the importance of agriculture as an industry. Jack Delano's skillful use of color adds depth to this historical documentation. Each tomato stands out against its surroundings, symbolizing abundance amidst poverty-stricken conditions faced by many during this period. This photograph is part of the Farm Security Administration collection housed within the Library of Congress' archives. It serves as a reminder of our rich agricultural heritage and pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to farming in America.
