The image is a black and white photograph depicting an agricultural scene. In the foreground, there's a large pile of onions scattered on the ground amidst dry vegetation, indicating they may have been recently harvested or are being sorted out for processing. Behind this pile, several sacks filled with more onions can be seen standing upright in rows, likely drying under sunlight as suggested by their position and appearance. The overall setting appears to be an outdoor farm field during a time when harvesting is taking place, possibly autumn given the dried vegetation on the ground. This scene captures a moment of agricultural labor and processing, highlighting the manual aspects involved in farming onions.

Onions in sacks are drying. Those on ground are culls. 1000 acres of onions are grown, 700 to 800 cars are shipped annually from Malheur County, Oregon
