Onion Field Harvest

In 2004 Kern County had 1460 Acres
of onions in production and harvested
37,800 tons for a total value of $6,595,00.

The 1973 book The Onion Field,
by Joseph Wambaugh, is a true story
about a pair of Los Angeles Police Department
officers abducted and killed in farmland
near Bakersfield.
The Onion Field was made into a movie in 1979.

Like Guenter, I'm a BIG fan of onions! Love your composition, simple yet powerful. And thanks for the introduction and sorry to hear about the sad story.
