The mechanic in the foreground indicates the outside limit of the last "swath" which has settled by the time the plane returns. Note how low the plane flies. Beanfields like this, hundreds of acres in extent, are plowed, planted cultivated and even harvested by tractors. Seabrook Farms, Bridgeton, and Vineland, New Jersey
