Marijuana farming is a good "green" job folks, plain and simple.

When Hops Were Picked By Hand -- 1991 Painted By Robert Thomas

If you worked from sun-up until the pitch black of nightfall, you could earn as much as three dollars a day, although most hop pickers earned a dollar and a quarter. Indians from all over the Northwest converged in the Toppenish area to hand-pick the hops. They brought along their families, cats, dogs, and chickens to make the Yakima Valley their home for the duration of the harvest. After a long day's work, they still found time to sing, dance, play stick games, and socialize with friends.

This mural inspired the building of a new park in Toppenish called Old Timers Plaza, and a second mural, "The Crossroads to Market," both adjacent to "When Hops Were Picked by Hand." This ambitious project was sponsored by various segments of the hop industry and local business.
