Trucks stretch in a long, uneven line along the loading area, their open beds and tailgates crowded against stacks of crates and sacks. Produce markets of this kind were the hub of regional farming before refrigerated long-haul shipping became common, when growers hauled their harvest in before dawn and buyers came to bargain for whatever arrived that day. The scene shows how much hand labor moved food from field to city: loaders lifting crates, drivers waiting their turn, and the orderly chaos of a morning sale. Images like this one record a trade that depended on the rhythm of the harvest and the speed of the road.
