Picking Up Rocks
When I was a child my grandfather would gather all the grandchildren a couple of time of years and we would pick up rocks on our fields by hand. The technology has developed and now the process is mechanized. Here the crew at Koopman Dairy picks up rocks on their new ground near Grays Chapel, North Carolina.
