Allan,

What an excellent idea! I kinda doubt that a
federal angency would tackle this but some of us
University types could. My brain is churning on this...

I think it would be incredibly useful to have
footage of not only "professional vegetable
harvesters" but of different set-ups, tools, etc.
for harvest and post-harvest handling on small and
mid-size market farms.
