Image
A promotional card displaying a man in overalls standing by his large rye crops, near the road.The caption reads, "This view made from a photograph taken in the latter part of July 1897, should satisfy every fair minded person as to the crop producing quality of the soil of Price County, Wis. Here is a field of rye growing far above the tops of the fences. This is not unusual and other grains do equally well. This field is located about 4 1/2 miles east of Phillips."
