Bad Back Ruins Worm Farmer
Ray Mayo runs Shannon Worm Farm outside West Palm Beach with about 50 million worms and four children. A recent back problem forces Mayo to consider selling as bending is essential in worm farming, though the operation remains one of the world’s largest and ships worms coast to coast. The farm’s product line includes bait worms and worm manure, with a famed 29 inch Shannon worm preserved by the Smithsonian.
