Harvesting Labor Requirements
Hi all, I am planning on growing a lot of tomatoes this year.
I will be doing 4 plantings, 900 plants per planting. All determinates for fresh market wholesale and retail. The 4 planting dates are somewhat spread out, so its not like we will have 3,600 plants coming on all at once. Trying to figure out how many people and how long it will take to harvest each 900 plant block over the course of a week while they are producing. Or more simply, how long does it take you to harvest a 100' row with plants 2ft apart in the row? Just trying to figure out how much help to plan for besides me, my wife, and 2 kids. Thanks! |
