About this listen
Welcome back! This week we start our series on the Seabrook family, and C.F. Seabrook, the Spinach King and "Henry Ford of irrigation"! The Seabrooks were a farming dynasty that peaked in the 1950s, and at one point were shipping a third of the vegetables in the United States, only to lose it all a few years later.
This episode we get into their humble origins, how irrigation changed their fortunes, their weird family dynamics, the racism that permeated the industry, and break down how farming has evolved in America in the past hundred years.
