There has always been a deep love and passion for agriculture in the Sparks Family. In the late 1940s Sam R Sparks began doing custom fieldwork for farmers with a rented tractor. In the early 1950s he bought his first tractor after a “lucky break”. He broke his leg in a motorcycle accident and used insurance proceeds to purchase a tractor rather than setting his broken bone. Since then, the Sparks Family has continued to invest in agriculture. Sam Jr “Bobby” took over the farm in the 1980s. Sam III was raised working on the farm and runs it with Bobby today. It is one of the largest family-owned irrigated farms in the Rio Grande Valley and they grow cotton, corn, grain, soybeans and sugarcane.
