Summary[edit]
| Description | Near Eugene, Oregon (USA). I think picking beans and other crops is now mostly done by migrant workers, but in the 1950s, at least in this area, it was done mostly by local teenagers. I picked other crops, too, especially filberts and strawberries, but bean-picking was my favorite. In fact it was the most enjoyable job I ever had. We got up before dawn and hiked from our homes to a central pick-up point in downtown Eugene, west of Willamette street. We were transported to the bean fields by the same truck that was used to haul the beans to the cannery. It was a very long day and even longer when I helped load the sacks of beans in the truck at the end of the day. We got paid by the pound for the bean picking and by the hour for loading the truck ( I can't remember the wages, but it was certainly less than $1 per hour). |
