Day 24 - Meet Barry Saxon

Barry Saxon Hi, this is Colin,

I’ve uploaded a couple of photographs here from the cab of one of our harvesters, I thought you might be interested in the the driver’s-eye-view. Oh, and also a quick snap of a very good friend of mine, Barry Saxon. Barry has been harvesting peas for us for forty-odd years so there’s not a lot about harvesting peas that he doesn’t know.

Drivers viewHe’s driving the harvester at the moment, giving one of the lads a rest. Barry is actually in charge here—he manages the operation. He’s responsible for the setting up of the machines and making sure everything is working as it should be.

Getting all the peas harvested in the field, not damaging them and sending us the best quality.

He’s very good at it.

Catch-you all later
