A laborer is a person who works in one of the construction trades, by tradition, considered unskilled manual labor -- though in practice the laborers are a skilled trade that has reliability and strength as core characteristics.
 Laborers are employed in the construction industry such as road paving, commercial buildings, bridges, tunnels.
 Laborers have all blasting, hand tools, power tools, air tools, and small heavy equipment, and act as assistants to other trades as well such as operators or cement masons.
 The 1st century BC engineer Vitruvius writes about laborer practices at that time; a good crew of laborers is just as valuable as any other aspect of construction.
 Other than the addition of pneumatics, laborer practices have changed little.
 With the advent of advanced technology and its introduction into the construction field, the laborers have been quick to include much of this technology as being laborers work.
Banausos (Ancient Greek βάναυσος , plural βάναυσοι , "banausoi") is a pejorative applied to the class of manual laborers or artisans in Ancient Greece.
 The related abstract noun βαναυσία – "banausia" is defined by Hesychius as "every craft (τέχνη ) [conducted] by means of fire", reflecting the folk etymology of the word as coming from βαῦνος ("baunos") "furnace" and αὔω ("auō") "to dry".
 The actual etymology of the words is unknown; they are not attested outside Attic-Ionic or before the 5th century BC.
 The epic heroes call their smiths δημιουργοί – "dēmiourgoi".
In the United States, the lower class are those at or near the lower end of the socio-economic hierarchy.
 As with all social classes in the United States, the lower class is loosely defined and its boundaries and definitions subject to debate and ambiguous popular opinions.
 Sociologists such as W. Lloyd Warner, Dennis Gilbert and James Henslin divide the lower classes into two.
 The contemporary division used by Gilbert divides the lower class into the working poor and underclass.
 Service and low-rung manual laborers are commonly identified as being among the working poor.
 Those who do not participate in the labor force and rely on public assistance as their main source of income are commonly identified as members of the underclass.
 Overall the term describes those in easily filled employment positions with little prestige or economic compensation who often lack a high school education and are to some extent disenfranchised from mainstream society.
The Wheat Fields is a series of dozens of paintings by Vincent van Gogh, borne out of his religious studies and sermons, connection to nature, appreciation of manual laborers and desire to provide a means of offering comfort to others.
 The wheat field works demonstrate his progression as an artist from the drab "Wheat Sheaves" made in 1885 in the Netherlands to the colorful, dramatic paintings from Arles, Saint-Rémy and Auvers-sur-Oise of rural France.
Green Wheat Field with Cypress (French: Champ de blé vert avec cyprès) is an oil on canvas painting by a Dutch Post-Impressionist Vincent van Gogh.
 It was completed in 1889, while van Gogh was voluntarily incarcerated at the asylum of St. Paul near Saint-Rémy in Provence.
 Several paintings of wheat fields with cypresses were made when van Gogh was able to leave the asylum grounds and explore the local landscape.
 Besides a fondness for cypresses, van Gogh had a special affinty with wheat fields; he depicted them dozens of times over the years; to Vincent they symbolized the cycle of life and death, and he found in them both solace and inspiration.
"The Adventures of Peter Wheat" is the title and central character of an American comic book series, created by cartoonist Walt Kelly (1913–1973) and distributed by the Dell Publishing as part of a marketing campaign.
 It was created for the Peter Wheat Bread and Bakers Associates, and it was published between 1948 and 1956.
 All of the stories were fairy tales starring Peter Wheat, an elf-sized boy who lived in a hollow tree on the edge of a wheat field where he and his animal friends go on adventures and try to save the wheat field from Dragonel and Hornet Knights.
Henry C. Groseclose was born on May 17, 1892.
 He lived in Ceres, Virginia for most of his life.
 Mr. Groseclose completed his junior college degree from Washington and Lee University in 1917.
 In his later years, he also received his bachelor’s degree, as well as his master’s degree, in agricultural education from Virginia Tech.
 While Mr. Groseclose was an agriculture teacher at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, he, along with three other agriculture teachers, Walter Newman, Edmund Magill and Harry Sanders, decided to establish a club for the farm boys in the school.
 The organization was fired up in 1925.
 Groseclose named the organization the Future Farmers of Virginia, or FFV for short.
 The original meaning for the abbreviation FFV stood for the First Families of Virginia.
 The “first families” referred to the families of both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
 Referring to Washington and Jefferson, Groseclose once stated that, “The Future Farmers of America should follow the example of these great sons of early Virginia by using scientific knowledge, intelligence, and enthusiasm to the end that agriculture may again be known as the profession of the real aristocrat.”
 Groseclose wrote the by-laws, as well as the constitution that the FFV would be based on.
 In 1926, he also wrote, and brought into play, the formal ceremony that would take place as an organizational pattern to structure each meeting.
 Two years later, in 1928, the FFV became a nationwide organization.
 This developed the organization that is known today as the Future Farmers of America, or The National FFA Organization, or just FFA for short.
 The by-laws drawn up by Henry Groseclose became the foundation of the newly national organization.
 Also, the formal ceremony that Groseclose developed was taken on by the FFA as a national ritual that is still used today.
 Groseclose was a seventh degree Grange member, and he was also involved with the Masons, so it was no surprise when he developed levels of memberships for the FFV, which transferred through to the FFA, that were similar to the three leveled membership structure that the Masons uses.
 These three levels included the Greenhand, the Virginia Farmer and the Virginia Planter.
 While the official emblem of the National FFA Organization was being drawn, Groseclose’s original emblem, which he hand drew himself, was highly considered and ended up playing a part in the emblem that is still the emblem of the National FFA Organization today.
 The part of the emblem that was from Mr. Groseclose’s original drawing included a background setting of a half plowed wheat field with an owl perched upon a spade of wheat in front of the field.
 Henry Groseclose served as the Executive Secretary of the National FFA Organization for two years between 1928 and 1930.
 During his office of Executive Secretary, he announced at the national convention of 1930 that he had written, and would be releasing, an official FFA manual, which outlined the organization, procedures and structures of the National FFA Organization.
 Mr. Groseclose also served as the Treasurer of the National FFA Organization for 11 years, between 1930 and 1941.
 In September 1925, Henry Groseclose set his expectations for the members of the FFV, and the purpose of the establishment of the Future Farmers of Virginia was by saying, "In my opinion the farm boys of Virginia who are enrolled in vocational agriculture are equal to any other group of boys in the state.
 But somehow the boys themselves seem to have a feeling of inferiority.
 Especially is this true when the farm boy goes to the city and has to compete with his city cousin.
 This condition should not exist.
 I believe that a strong organization of our boys in agriculture would help them to overcome this handicap.
 Let's form an organization that will give them a greater opportunity for self-expression and for the development of leadership.
 In this way they will develop confidence in their own ability and pride in the fact that they are farm boys."
 Mr. Henry C. Groseclose died on June 4 of 1950.
 In 2002, the Department of Historic Resources established a marker in Mr. Groseclose’s honor.
 It is Marker number KC-5 and it is displayed in Bland County of Ceres, Virginia.
A Wheatfield with Cypresses (occasionally called "A Cornfield with Cypresses") is any of three similar 1889 oil paintings by Vincent van Gogh, as part of his wheat field series.
 All were executed at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole mental asylum at Saint-Rémy near Arles, France, where Van Gogh was voluntarily a patient from May 1889 to May 1890.
 The works were inspired by the view from the window at the asylum towards the Alpilles mountains.
Blue Collar TV is a television program that aired on The WB with lead actors Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, and Larry the Cable Guy.
 The show's humor dealt principally with contemporary American society, and especially hillbilly, redneck, and Southern stereotypes.
 The show was greenlighted on the heels of the success of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, which the series' three lead actors toured with in the early-mid-2000s.
 It was created by Fax Bahr and Adam Small, in addition to J.P. Williams and Jeff Foxworthy.
 Blue collar is a US phrase used to describe manual laborers, as opposed to white collar for office or professional workers.
The SS "Silesia" was a late 19th-century Hamburg America Line passenger and cargo ship that ran between the European ports of Hamburg, Germany and Le Havre, France to Castle Garden and later Ellis Island, New York transporting European immigrants, primarily Russian, Prussian, Hungarian, German, Austrian, Italian, and Danish individuals and families.
 Most passengers on this route were manual laborers, including stonecutters, locksmiths, farmers, millers, upholsterers, confectioners, and tailors, though physicians and other professionals also bought passage on her.

Question: What was the series inspired by the appreciation of manual laborers that Wheat Field with Cypresses is a part of?
