Equipment show -- We were treated to an equipment show at the end of our day or touring in the Bolzano area. Here, a platform is used to harvest fruit. The details elude me, but I believe two pickers stand on the platform as it moves down the row, picking into the upper baskets, which (somehow) are lowered in the bin. I already alluded to the fact the Europeans are quite innovative equipment manufacturers, often with the goal of reducing hand labor or using technology to minimize/reduce inputs.
