The image showcases a hardworking farmer named Jack Whinery, grinding pinto beans into chicken feed in Pie Town, New Mexico. The scene exudes an air of simplicity and resilience as Whinery diligently tends to his daily chores. His weathered face tells tales of countless hours spent under the scorching sun, working tirelessly to provide for his family and community. With a determined expression on his face, he skillfully operates the grinder with calloused hands, turning humble beans into nourishment for his flock. Russell Lee's masterful composition captures not only Whinery's dedication but also the essence of life in mid-century rural America.
