Most apples are picked by hand, especially in smaller orchards and for high-quality fruit intended for fresh markets. However, in larger commercial operations, mechanical harvesters are increasingly used to improve efficiency and reduce labor costs. These machines can shake the trees to dislodge apples, allowing for faster collection but may sometimes result in more bruising of the fruit. Ultimately, the choice between hand and machine picking depends on factors like the scale of the operation and the intended market for the apples.
I guess it's either to chop it down for wood or pick the fruit it bares.
In today's society it is picked by a machine in the fields. Back before the machine was invented slaves or others did it by hand and picked out the seeds. Now the machine sorts and picks out the seeds.
Picked and sorted by hand --> hand-picked and sorted by a simple machine --> picked and sorted by complex machinery
Most is still picked by hand. All fruits are picked by hand with people on ladders reaching for the fruit in the trees or hand picking strawberries, mushrooms, onions, lettuce ( in the lettuce fields they bring up big trailers and they pick and box it right in the field) grapes are still by hand and laid out on paper if they are to be raisins. After the raisins are dried they are rolled in the paper and picked up by hand. Corn is picked by machine and so it cotton. Some nuts are also done by machine. Tomatoes are by hand and put on big trailers and taken to the processing plant. Squished tomatoes are all over the roads in tomato season.
Cotton is currently picked by machine. They used to have slaves pick the cotton in the south by hand. You seem to have forgotton the people (both white & black) that picked cotton after the slaves & before the cotton picking machines.
Rice can be harvested both by hand and by machine, depending on the region and the scale of the operation. In many small-scale and traditional farming areas, rice is still picked by hand to ensure careful selection of the grains. However, in larger commercial farms, mechanical harvesters are commonly used to increase efficiency and reduce labor costs. The choice between hand and machine harvesting often depends on factors such as labor availability, cost, and the specific variety of rice being cultivated.
They picked cotton by hand. Hand picking was the only option until the 1950's when cotton picking machine was developed. Eli Whitney patented the cotton gin on March 14 1794 to remove the seeds and pods from the picked cotton
a list of some are: raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, apples, cherries, potatoes, or anything that needs to be picked by hand, or sorted by hand In southwest Louisiana they are used in the sugarcane and crawfish fields.
Fruit is still picked by hand off the tree, but gas and oil maybe used in trucks, tractors, and cars.
If you have 5 apples in one hand and 6 in the other, you would have a total of 11 apples. This is simply the sum of the apples in both hands.
By hand.
On a tree and in an orchard. Every spring the orange tree has blossoms that grow into oranges. They are babied by the grower and then picked by hand.
