Full title:George Shoji and his brother-in-law, George Ike, are shown with Ike's father-in-law, Joseph Sakamoto, cutting cabbage beside a wagon which they are loading in one of their fields. The farm which they are operating on shares is near Elkhorn, Wisconsin. They have 120 acres of land, of which 50 acres are in cabbage, 10 in potatoes, 15 in corn, and 10 each of onions and carrots. Crops were good this year except for the onions and carrots which did not do well. The Shoji, Ike, and Sakamoto families came to Wisconsin from Rohwer Relocation Center. Prior to evacuation, Shoji was a vineyard and cotton farmer near Fresno, California. George Ike was in the cleaning business in Isleton, California, and Joseph Sakamoto had been farming for many years near San Martin, California. The three families share two houses which are on the farm.<lb /> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb /> Elkhorn, Wisconsin.
