This photograph was published in the Birmingham News on January 21, 1952, with the following caption: "Back to plowing - Farmer Allen Moye was busy breaking land today, getting it ready for planting corn. He plants the corn, lets hogs eat it green, giving him pork for the market while the off-season hog price still is high.
