Just for perspective: Things sure have improved.
Grandpa Pape hauled potatoes in his big red truck.
But borrowing from the Library of Congress,
here's a truck loaded with potatoes in 1937.
And a young boy picks potatoes near EGF, 1937.
He's filling a basket, each potato bag holds two baskets,
and weighs about 70 pounds when loaded.
