Beet digger truck loading sugar beets into a truck in Imperial Valley, ca.1950

Photograph of a beet digger loading sugar beets into a truck in Imperial Valley, ca.1950. A tractor with an umbrella for shade rides through the tall plants of the field while a large truck drives just next to it and a rotating wheel on the right cuts through the tall grass. A second umbrella shades a man on the right who seems to be guiding the sugar beats to the large pile in the wooden bins at the back of the truck.

本照片拍摄于1950年左右的帝国谷（Imperial Valley），记录了甜菜挖掘机（beet digger）将糖用甜菜（sugar beets）装载至卡车的作业场景。一辆搭载遮阳伞的拖拉机正穿行于田间的高秆作物间，一旁伴随一辆大型卡车行进，画面右侧的旋转轮正切割过田间的高秆植被。另有一把遮阳伞为画面右侧的一名男子遮蔽，该男子似乎正在将糖用甜菜引导至卡车后部木质料箱内的堆积区域。
