So how long do you figure it takes you to harvest a bushel?

In a good patch, my two main workers this season were taking about an hour to pick a bushel together (which, of course, contributed to the problem.) If there are beans on the plants, I can definitely pick that fast by myself. I have yet to have ANY luck in attracting by-the-pound pickers, which is bad as our pole beans will be coming in in a few days...Yes, the picking is a killer for a 200+ share CSA! -Allan in WV
