Picking Peas in the Rain

The last few days we have received quite a bit of rain and it has made the field very muddy. Even though it is raining we still keep on picking. The only way we can get to the field is with our quads or our old John Deere AMT that has to be about 25 years old and still going. We don't use it a lot but in this weather it works perfect.
This morning it was +10 degrees at 8:00 when they started work and warmed up to +11 for a high of the day. Our loyal employees just put on more clothes, complete with thin cotton gloves with plastic gloves over top for their hands, then pull up their hood and get to work. What a difference a week makes compared to +30 last week.
