Blackcurrant Picking by megpicatilly

Blackcurrant Picking

Once a year, this machine is wheeled out to harvest the blackcurrants. They are scooped up in the yellow 'bucket' and work their way up the elevator into the green box at the back. On hot days, the driver has his sunshade up - very sensible but it does look quite amusing!
That looks a complicated piece of equipment!

@karens54 It does! It goes very slowly and takes a few days to complete the field.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond @cmp The brolly really does make it! Some years when it is cloudy he doesn't have it - not nearly as fun!!
