The Stewart family grows watermelons on 300 acres of Florida ground and supplies them to Melon 1, the largest watermelon grower, packer and shipper in the United States. Stewart had success in expanding his operation this past season to northeastern Missouri, which typically has not been used for commercial watermelon growing. Photo courtesy of Bob Stewart.
