- Description:
- Valdosta, Dec. 1977. Example of an early tractor being pulled along in the tractorcade which moved through Valdosta in support of the farm strike.
This photograph was taken by Beverly Harrell who was of Valdosta, Georgia at the time the photograph was taken.
2003/06/30: The strike that these farmers are participating in began in Springfield, Colorado in response to a rise in the price of seed, fuel, pesticides, and other farm costs and a decline in the cost of crops. Participating farmers stopped buying and selling any products beginning on December 14, 1977, unless their demands were met. The group later became known as the American Agriculture Movement (AAM). - External Identifiers:
