So, looks my venture into to small scale, locally sold vegetables is starting out as a failure. I've got 2 acres of Okra, very popular here in the South, and, prices are up $2.00 a half bushel. This morning myself and two high school kids picked an acre in three hours. Pods were in between: some were too big, the rest too small. We only managed a bushel of fancys. I was out- picking these two kids two rows to their one! Sent them home after telling them they were slow and getting outworked by a man twice their age! Took the okra into the market and got paid $20!! Only spent $40 on labor, plus mine (free), and $10 in fuel. By my math, I don't think this will work so well. The only way this will succeed is if I get some much faster pickers and "train" the okra to produce on a better schedule. Thought I'd share the first part of this saga. I'll keep ya'll posted as to how things move ahead.
