This photograph pictures the South Dakota Brotherhood of Threshermen Band on June 13, 1931. Thirty-four individuals are pictured here all dressed in a uniform of bib overalls, straw hats and bandanas. The band, on this day, was at a park show on Lake Kampeska for the annual Threshermen’s picnic. There one identified individual, Orrin Korth. He is in the second row from the bottom, second from the right, holding a French horn. Threshermen are farmers who also run threshing crews. During the harvest season they would travel to farms in the neighborhood and the region. In the off season they returned to their farms, yet continued to pick up jobs doing road work, crushing stone, sawing firewood or other custom jobs. The South Dakota Brotherhood of Threshermen formed a fraternal “brotherhood” in 1916, and by 1927, they claimed to be the largest such organization.
