The Northwest Agricultural Fair

Jasper and I went to the Ag Show today. As we were oohing and aaahing at the outrageous machines, with tires taller than mommy, our eyes alighted on a machine that from the front reminded me a lot of an automatic car wash, with strange rotating brushes inside. "What the heck is that???" I said. Imagine my astonishment when I saw a seat on the top, and wheels underneath! No need to pick things like berries, coffee, jatrophas and saskatoons manually anymore! Just drive your harvester right over the bushes! While asking yourself, what the heck are jatrophas and saskatoons and what kind of market is there for huge machines to pick them? What about all the soon to be out of work jatropha pickers? My heart goes out to them. I guess you learn something new every day...
