True Work

The amount of work that goes into raising a crop of Broadleaf is unimaginable, indescribable, back burning work. 6,000  plants per acre.  In the green house the plants are pulled by hand. Plants are transplanted in the field. Tons and tons of lifting fertilizer by hand and more using your Back. Weeding acre after acre. All this conditioning gets the body ready for harvest. Swinging the hatchet as you are bent over placing the plant with a gingerly touch neatly in rows. Not standing strait up till the end of the rows  my o' my these rows are a football field in length if your lucky.  All the way to 1/4 mile long, handing plant after plant in front of you all day.  Then raising the heavy full lath up into the rafters of the Sheds.  With 80 and 90 degree's heat. These men and women are truly the toughest workers I have been around.  Roofer's , Landscapers, Construction workers have nothing on a Farm worker. Now after describing the physical toughness this is even more remarkable, Farm workers are the nicest most caring People on earth. The quality of work the pride and willingness to help other fellow workers is truly amazing . Then there is an owner behind every Family Broadleaf farm. There the ones who put up the money raise the crop. Deal with weather, crop disease, then and only then if the crop is good it can go on the market for sale. A true Labor of Love !
