Photograph of field hands at Onion Seed Farm, Santa Clara County, [s.d.]. Almost thirty field hands stand in small groups in the waste-high plants. They wear long-sleeved shirts and white hats that shade their faces from the sun. The plants are like tall grass blades with small balls balancing on the tips. A smooth hillside can be seen in the background.
