New pictures:-)
Hi, James here.
I’ve been taking pics but the automatic uploader on the phone has been going a bit mental. It could be 3G reception but we’re not sure. In any case, I’ve managed to upload some new pics!
If you click on the little thumbnails to the right or follow the Flickr link the picture are, in order of appearance:
- Three tonnes of peas in the hopper
- A bundle of peas
- The quality management team at work
- Peas in the bowl that gets checked by hand
- A weather monitoring rig
The peas are being tested by people like Stella on the left in the third photo and some of her students who are doing all the quality management. The students work with the fieldsmen, they run samples every day from the fields into the quality testing facility at the factory where the quality measurements happen. The results are then send back to the fieldsmen who closely monitor the crop to catch the perfect harvest time and plan the next course of action.
These people are some of the unsung heroes of the whole operation who just get on and do a good job for us. There are many more in other parts of the operation and we’ll try to introduce you to them.
More later.
