The men would walk beside the piles of to***co and "bid" on the pile. An auctioneer would control the bidding.

These pictures show people harvesting, "picking", peanuts with the old method. Peanuts were plowed from the ground, allowed to dry some, and then stacked around a pole for further drying. Then, they were thrown into the picker by a man using a pitchfork. It was very labor-intensive. The year is unknown but probably prior to 1955. .

I hope you can attend.
