This is the conveyer belt on which the picked berries come through. You can see a corner of a leaf at the top (right side) of the belt - there's a fan in that area that sweeps away any leaves that get picked up by the machine. There are always two people sitting at the belt, cleaning up the berries before they fall into the flat. Cool, eh?

what happens if you don't clean the berries? does that mean you have more weight to your flats and get paid more for your berries?
again, just a thought.

We have "grade A" berries. The place that we ship our berries to determine what grade they are - if we don't clean them, our grade drops...and so does the amount of money we get paid for them.
