Amidst the rich agricultural landscape of America's heartland, the humble pea plant holds a significant place in history. From the end of a long day in the fields of California, where pea pickers toiled for meager wages during the Great Depression, to the prosperous farmlands of North Carolina, the pea has been a staple crop since the late 1800s. Its genetic makeup, discovered by the brilliant mind of Gregor Mendel through his experiments with pea plants in the 1860s, laid the foundation for modern genetics. Today, pea seedlings continue to sprout and grow, promising another bountiful harvest. The simple pea plant, captured in various moments throughout history, tells a story of hard work, innovation, and the enduring connection between farmers and the land.
