Hop Picking near Cooperstown. In the 19th- and early 20th-centuries, New York State was the leader in hop production in the United States, growing over eighty percent of the nation’s crop. Hop picking season was an annual social event for many who left their regular jobs for three to four weeks to go hop picking. Hop picking was considered both a vacation and an adventure, and a way to meet new people and socialize. During the day the hop pickers sang songs, told stories, and told jokes while working in the hop yards. In the evenings, hop dances were held each night on the hop farms and in town until the early morning hours.
