I'm not sure what Ruskin has to do with it. I think he meant that your blanket statement about illegal workers was either one of your typical attempts to sabotage a discussion, or was based on "information" given to you by the mother ship. So, he asked whether you'd been to a certain area in order to test your imaginary knowledge. |

Cluster tomatoes on the vine were only $1.19 lb. You getting ripped. Only 2 ripe tomatoes from my yard plants. California has a lot more tomato-pickers (a.k.a. illegals). They may or may not be illegal, but they are the same ones picking most of the crops. As to tomatoes, we do grow a lot of them. And you have never seen tomatoes commercially picked with your comment. When picking for canning, and maybe even for market, they spray the field 3 days before picking with a ripening agent. 3 days later, 95% are red. They then drive a machine through the field, that rips up the plant, sends it along a conveyer belt, and the workers along the belt, pick out the tomatoes and they are sent along another chute to a hopper on a trailer next to the picker. They the go off along the highway, spilling some small percentage. You can get all the tomatoes you want at some curves and onramps. Every once in a while a truck turns turtle, normally when I want to take the boat somewhere and causes a huge traffic jam, while they bring in the skip loader to clear the highway. One cannery near where I used to duck hunt, did tomato paste for American Food's (Franco-American brands) and the smallest container was 5 gallons, largest: tank car. UC Davis developed the tasteless tomato with the heavy duty skin that can be machine picked. |
