In the 1930s, Rohland was hired as one of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) artists.

The scene was of a farm family and a field hand carrying out daily labors on the farm. Though many locals, black and whites alike appreciated the painting, in the 1980s, the local NAACP chapter had the painting removed as being insensitive in its depiction of the African-American farm hand. In 1995, the canvas was found wadded up in a closet of the post office and was restored. It is now in the permanent collection of Georgia Southern University on loan from the federal government.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In 1942, Rohland won the commission to paint the post office mural for Fulton, New York.
