DescriptionAfter crops were picked from the fields, they were brought to the front platform pictured here at Seabrook Farms. At the platform, they were inspected, and then trucked to the processing plant. John Fuyuume writes in his memoir: "The front platform was a busy place, requiring coordinating the crew to receive raw material efficiently. Trucks would be lined up waiting to be unloaded, and if it took too long for peas, for instance, [they] would generate heat and spoil. Later, a heat unit system of determining the scheduling of planting crops alleviated the delivery of peas above the capacity of the plant to process.' [Excerpt from John Fuyuume's 'I remember summers at Seabrook as a college student.']
