Peanut Stacks Harvest Southern Agriculture Chrome Postcard 1960s

The American South (unspecified)1960ChromeGood

Chrome-era agricultural postcard showing peanut harvest in the American South — rows of conical peanut stacks cover a sandy harvested field under a bright blue sky, two workers tending the stacks in the middle distance while a farm building sits at the treeline behind. The back caption explains the process: at harvest the vines are uprooted and stacked on poles to dry before being run through machines to separate the peanuts. Peanut farming expanded dramatically across the Virginia-North Carolina-Georgia belt in the postwar decades, and this card — produced as a regional souvenir — captures the distinctive pre-combine harvest method that had been used for generations.
