The old way of digging plants at Sherman Nursery
Company. |
|
 |
| For many years this shows a typical
digging crew that has harvested plants at Sherman Nursery Company. |
|
|
| The shrubs were dug, dirt removed from the roots and
hand loaded into the dump truck. |
One change made to some tractors is the addition of
an additional pair of wheels. This allows the tractor to 'float' across the field in poor
conditions. |
|
|
| Plants are loaded into the dump bed and secured by
rope. The truck returns to the cold storage buildings and the plants are stored until they
can be graded. |
