From Wikipedia: Truck farms produce vegetables for market. The word 'truck' in truck farms does not refer to the transportation truck, which is derived from Greek for "wheel," but rather from the old north French word , which means "barter" or "exchange." The use for vegetables raised for market can be traced back to 1784 and truck farms to 1866.
I long to one day say the phrase " I love my rubber apron" in the same tone of voice that Crow uses here. The problem for most people is that it's not something you can easily squeeze into a normal conversation.
I'm about to go work in my garden, so I'm watching this to get psyched up before planting the carrots. Last week it was "The Home Economics Story" to mentally prepare for cleaning the house. Hell, my husband and I watched "Are You Ready For Marriage?" the night before we got married. I'm beginning to think there's a short for everything.

"Don't see many of *these* trees anymore--WELL, DOWN IT GOES!"
Man, that will never stop being funny.
"Sad thing is, this guy doesn't even work for anybody. He's just doing it for kicks."
Worship the truck farmer at the church of your choice!

Vegetables for market as opposed to vegetables for home consumption by the farmers and their families.

"Let's take you back to the days when TTD was safe ". The only film about truck farming in which you don't see any trucks.
