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.
