Cucumber Harvest Hindered by School Labor Shortage
Local cucumber growers face harvest delays as students expected to pick fruit return to class next month. In Vauxhall and Tabor many crops remain unpicked, risking oversized cucumbers and reduced sales. Bicks plant Chief Burns says labor gaps cut production to half and plans to hire 12 more students, with potential to grow own cucumbers if farmers cannot supply. Board aims to use Manpower Agreement committees to address the labor squeeze.
