Tomatoes from Heaven: I was born in 1948 into a farming family. My uncle, my mother%u2019s brother, was the family member who had more cows than the rest of us. All the family farms were simple in their operation and completely rural in their location. My uncle%u2019s farm was the largest at 180 acres, and in the 1950%u2019s and 1960%u2019s I spent a considerable amount of time being, and eventually working there.
