My grandfather farmed just a few miles northeast of Greeley, Colorado. There was a German POW camp west of town on US 34 highway. My grand father raised corn, sugar beets, pinto beans and also grew Hubbard squash and cucumbers. The camp guards would bring the prisoners out in a bus and supervised them as they thinned, and weeded the beets.

Grandmother was German, Grandpa Swiss and were able to converse with the prisoners in their own language. Sugar beets were all topped by hand and then forked on to the truck for unloading at a piling station. My Dad's 1941 Case was sometimes operated by one of the prisoners pulling a beet drag thru the rows. He also had a Case two row lifter on it.
