Going Our Way ?

This original World War II recruitment poster promotes the Victory Farm Volunteers program, part of the U.S. Crop Corps initiative aimed at mobilizing American youth to support wartime agricultural labor. Featuring a clean, upbeat photographic illustration of two teenagers carrying farm tools against a vivid blue backdrop, the design emphasizes national pride, community duty, and the optimism of home-front effort. The inviting slogan "Going our way?" frames farm work as a shared patriotic contribution rather than a hardship, appealing directly to young Americans through relatable imagery and approachable tone.The Victory Farm Volunteers campaign was launched in response to severe agricultural labor shortages during the war, when millions of adult workers were drafted or moved into defense industries. Posters like this encouraged students to spend summers harvesting crops to maintain the food supply for both soldiers and civilians. Distributed nationally through county extension offices, schools, and civic organizations, these posters were part of a coordinated government effort to keep domestic production strong during wartime.This is an Original Vintage Poster, it is not a reproduction.
