YUMA PRODUCE

AS WE RETURNED FROM THE BATTALION SITE WE WENT THROUGH MANY FIELDS WHERE THEY WERE HARVESTING LETTUCE. IT IS AMAZING THAT  PEOPLE WALK ALONG BEHIND THIS HUGE CONVEYOR MACHINE, CHOP OFF THE LETTUCE PUT IT ON THE BELT. THEN IT GOES INTO HUGE CARDBOARD CONTAINERS LINED WITH PLASTIC AND IS WRAPPED AND PUT ON A TRUCK, TAKEN TO REFRIGERATION AND THEN SHIPPED TO THE WAREHOUSES.  SOME PRODUCE IS EVEN WRAPPED IN THE FIELD AND BOXED UP AND SENT TO THE STORE WAREHOUSE. I WAS AMAZED AT THIS.  I FOUND OUT THAT THE FARMERS ARE IN FACT PLANTING MIXES OF LETTUCE THAT IS CUT AND BAGGED RIGHT IN THE FIELD FOR WHAT WE BUY IN THE STORE AS "GARDEN MIX."

 I LOVE THE PERFECTLY STRAIGHT ROWS.
