EARLY IN THE LAST CENTURY, in the 1900’s, farmers in South Dakota would get together to help each other get their work done. Using teams of horses and plenty of man power, the men would make light work of a seemingly impossible task. The women butchered a few chickens and gathered vegetables from the garden to put together a feast for the workers. This photo of a haying bee in northern South Dakota was loaned to the True Dakotan by Myron Kleppin, longtime Crow Lake area farmer. Watch future issues of the True Dakotan to see more of the photographs in this series.
