It's hard to imagine that amount of tomatoes that you harvest so quickly. Growing up around a farm in the 1950's and 60's we milked cows and grew corn, wheat, oats, hay and a lot of tomatoes. Some of the larger farms had migrant labor hand pick the tomatoes but some of the smaller farmers hired locals to pick for .13 cents per bushel basket. I remember picking in a particularly good field one day and finally broke the 100 bushel basket mark at around 14 years of age. We hoed the weeds in the just planted tomato until the plants were big enough to use the Farmall C to cultivate them. I'm 73 years old now but still use my hoe to weed my flower beds when the ground gets too hard from lack of rain. Enjoyed this video and even though it's not such hard manual labor as years ago, it's still long, hard and dirty work harvesting crops even today.
Master display of coordination to get the crop harvested. The ladies who drive the tractors are absolute sweethearts. Beautiful and confident too.
Makes me appreciate farmers for doing something I have no interest in doing myself. A heartfelt thank you for feeding the rest of the world with the toils of your labor!
