Rogers Farm (photo #00212)

Description

"During the four seasons of the year beginning with fall 1974, I photographed Howard and Freda Rogers in an effort to record every detail of their hundred-cow dairy operation. They hired a minimum of help, dividing labors between themselves and their cow dog, Tippy. They loved the farm and the work, and made milk, sugared, gardened and split firewood. They were always tired.

I returned to the farm during their last year operating the dairy in 1991. Howard had a bad heart. Freda had a stroke on a morning while I was visiting with my camera. The struggle to keep working finally ended. Howard died of a heart attack and Freda had to move away from the farm." (Neil Rappaport)
