Many hop yards in North Eastern NY state from the early 1900s until the mid 50s.There were yards around before the 1900s but they were small operations.After the1900s the yards got much bigger.There was four yards right close to me,two right next door.After the picking started and the drying kiln fires were lit,those drying hops smelled so good.

As I recall in this area only two growers crops were on overhead wires,and the rest were on poles.

Much manpower (and womanpower) required to do the picking.

Indians from the nearby reservation were bused in as well as whole local familys got the job done.
