- Title
- Farming in San Jose
- Description
- Japanese Americans made up a tiny portion of California‚'s population but produced 40% of the state‚'s vegetable crop, including nearly all of the tomatoes, strawberries, celery and peppers. The government warned farmers they would be charged with sabotage if they left their fields in early 1942, but they were forced to leave long before the fall harvest. Photograph by Dorothea Lange, near Mission San Jose, California, April 5, 1942. National Archives 537838.
