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
usually too tall. For a write-up on the stools, see:
http://bse.wisc.edu/hfhp/tipsheets_html/stool.htm
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.
