This photo shows the Hamilton dairy farm south of Palmer. The lower part of the photo shows a hay field across the image. The height of the grass, compared with a small patch of taller grass at left, appears to be in production of the second cutting to be harvested in the fall. In middle ground, at the far end of the field, are the farmstead buildings including the farmhouse at left and various barns, sheds, a silo and equipment in a line across the image to the right. Numerous black & white cows are standing in a feed lot in front of the barns. Directly behind the buildings a row of dark, thick forest crosses the image. A small background view of a portion of Talkeetna Mountains is seen at extreme left. A band of low white clouds lies across the image in background.
