How Machines Help the Farmers in Cowra NSW Cannery
Agricultural Gazette reports mechanised pea handling in Cowra district New South Wales showing massive labour savings. Mewes Rowlands and Sons of Werribee Wangoola harvested 18 to 20 acres delivering over 20000 If UB shelled peas in one day with nineteen workers, equal to 2100 bushels of pod peas. Hand picking would need 200 pickers plus transport and shelling labour. Two double row bean cutters and a green crop loader powered three trucks to keep both vines and cannery yards fully busy. Green crop loader work equates to about ten men, reducing wastage and boosting yield with reported gains around 10 percent.
