Annette Graham

Annette Graham, a 52-year-old farm worker from Jamaica, has deep personal ties to Spring Plains, a significant agricultural site that has undergone various transformations since its inception as Agro21 in the 1980s. Growing up with a legacy of farming in her family, she recalls the remarkable size of tomatoes produced during that era, affectionately dubbed 'M-16 tomatoes' for their impressive dimensions. Annette continues to work the same land her mother and sister once cultivated, advocating for a return to the agricultural excellence and innovation that characterized Agro21, while emphasizing the importance of modern techniques like drip irrigation that continue to benefit local farming today.
