In the foreground at the edge of the bean field are a couple of cockleburr plants. You don't see those in fields much any more because of the herbicide that is now used. When I was a kid, this is one of the summer jobs I would have. Cutting weeds like this and jimson weed and horseweed was a big kid job provider. You would walk down the rows with a big knife of some sort and cut these weeds. You would cover acres and acres. I might make 50 cents an hour.
