Charles F. Seabrook
Charles Franklin Seabrook, known professionally as C.F. Seabrook, (28 May 1881 – 1964) was a business man and owner of Seabrook Farms, a family-owned frozen vegetable packing plant in New Jersey that at one point was the largest irrigated truck farm in the world. Seabrook Farms became famous for recruiting Japanese Americans from internment camps beginning in January 1944 and other immigrants displaced from World War II. He was nicknamed the "Henry Ford of agriculture" by B.C. Forbes, the founder of ''Forbes'' magazine,〔Charles H. Harrison, ''Growing a Global Village: Making History at Seabrook Farms'' (New York: Holmes & Meier Publishers, Inc., 2003), 8.〕 and the town of Seabrook, New Jersey is named after him.
==Early life==
C.F. was born in Cumberland County, New Jersey to parents Aurthur P. and Elizabeth (known as "Riley") Seabrook. His father was an Englishman who started an unnamed farm truck in 1870.〔Lurie, Maxine N., and Marc Mappen. ''Encyclopedia Of New Jersey''. New Brunswick, N.J.: Rutgers University Press, 2004. ''eBook Collection (EBSCOhost)''. Web. 8 Oct. 2014.〕 In 1893, his father bought a piece of land in Upper Deerfield to expand his farming business. C.F. Seabrook left school at the age of 12 to work as a farmhand for his father's farm in Upper Deerfield, Cumberland County.〔 He is often described as a "reluctant farmer", who had interests in engineering instead.〔 During the early 1920s, he briefly worked overseas in Europe as an engineering consultant for civil projects.
