Description

Marvin Matzke, a third generation farmer, has lived on his family farm his entire life. Here he is seen in his field during the harvest of green beans. He rented his field out for a cash crop to Razor Back Farms. The pickers arrived by the dozens like big dinosaurs. They quickly pick this 22 acre area. Semi trucks with open-topped trailers are filled with the harvest and immediately run to the processing plant located in Spring Dale, Arkansas. This field is located just off Kolberg Road behind the ball field. It is now the site of Marvin's son's, Neil Matzke, home.
