When I was young in early 1960's there was a school in part of Louisiana that closed during strawberry harvest time and almost all students went to work in the fields.

In the late 1960's I missed school for first 2 weeks of school in my Junior High years to drive combine on the farm. On rain days I had to go back to school and catch up what I had missed. School principals understood this since many of the boys my age had to do the same.

There was one family in my area that had only daughters. So the girls drove combine and tractors during harvest. Their mother drove the truck that hauled the rice to the mill. In between full loads in the truck she cooked lunch for all the workers on the farm.
