You ever watched them pick and pack lettuce?

No. Local lettuce here is usually of such small quantity that families (on

cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and other "ground crops" being harvested.
Tough work.


They ride a machine and cut the head off and toss it on a conveyer belt up
to a processing stand. Time spent per head is minimal.
