The farmer was from New Jersey often called the Garden State for its
vegetable farms. Truck farms need a lot of laborers to pick crops
unlike those like corn or wheat that just use machines.

When I lived in Philadelphia, every summer morning there were couple of
buses that would take anyone that wanted to make a few bucks to the
farms. Plenty of day workers looking for beer monry.

It was not far from where the stevedores and lumpers would gather
looking for work too.
