“And the crops changed. Fruit trees took the place of grain fields, and vegetables to feed the world spread out on the bottoms; lettuce, cauliflower, artichokes, potatoes – stoop crops. A man…must crawl like a bug between the rows of lettuce, he must bend his back …and he must go on his knees like a penitent across a cauliflower patch.”
John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath, 1939.
