An illustration of a man digging up taro roots with a shovel. His face is tense, and the moment captures him exerting all his strength to pull them up.
People sorting harvested taro into parent tubers and baby tubers
This illustration shows the workspace of a taro farmer sorting harvested taro into parent tubers and baby tubers. The baby tubers, primarily for commercial shipment, are being separated into baskets. The large parent tuber in the center is stored in front of the grandfather for personal consumption, not for shipment. The grandmother at the very back is loosening and removing the larger roots and soil. This is a scene from the busy shipping season at a taro farm, showing one of the adjustment tasks being performed.
