About this listen
This week we continue the story of C.F. Seabrook and the family farm. We discuss how they started innovating with frozen vegetables, using the expertise of Clarence Birdseye, how they changed the farm to make progress, and the path leading to C.F.'s youngest son Jack taking over.
This episode also gets into the strike of 1934, when black and white workers banded together to strike for higher wages and fairer treatment, and how the Seabrook farm, with the help of the police force, vigilantes and the KKK tried to suppress the movement. Plus communism!
