Full title:The last of the hay crop goes in today. Richard Nishimura left Manzanar in October 1943 to accept a job on a typical Vermont dairy farm. In addition to milk production, the farm also raises corn for silage and hay. Although Richard was inexperienced in dairy farming, he soon learned to milk and care for young stock. Last spring, with the backing of his employer, Mr. Charles Nichols, he joined the Grange and has been attending regularly. He finds people very friendly and says he has made many close personal friends since he has been there. Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru Enosburg Falls, Vermont.
