Regarding the milking stool: yes, they are made by NASCO. I have one,
use it sometimes when picking peas or beans. My cherry tomatoes are

Several other good tip sheets at this University of Wisconsin site as
well. Along the lines of using both hands at once, there are plans
for a hands-free wash station.
