Blacks from re-purchasing large tracts of land needed to farm successfully. By the 1970s in Harford County, only a relative few African American farmers managed to scratch out a living. During this time, Herbert Bond Jr. was well known among Harford County residents for selling produce door-to-door and then from his produce truck stand in downtown Bel Air. He served as many as 100 customers a day.
