We here at the raccoon news were pleased to see another Jeffrey Phelps farm photo in today's paper.
He has a wonderful way of cropping his photos down to bring in remote details. In this instance, he has caught the simple design of a pick 'em yourself berry farm's carrying racks. These racks are utterly but beautifully rudimentary, and we can picture stacks and stacks of them at the ready when the pickers show up to take their hayrides out into the fields.
The pickers ride out with their own racks, and the take-home cardboard boxes rest within the carriers. Bent metal verticals, and two nails hold the wooden handle securely on.
The berry season is now at hand, we are told in the paper. The objects of the harvesters' delight are juicy and red. They are ready! They can be practically be eaten alive, so ripe are they!
Watch for Jeffrey Phelps' by-line in the J-S. Pictures and close-ups to remember!
