Years ago in Horse Heaven in Kennewick, Wa. when they harvested the wheat, they put a Cook Shack out next to the fields and the men working were given 3 meals a day. Many times young unmarried women did the cooking and of course they were very popular with the young men. Almost all of the wheat farms provided meals for the workers as the men went from field to field as the wheat ripened. The harvest was done with horses pulling the combines so there was a lot of work to do and it made for long long days.
