Labor Productivity in Apple Harvesting

Charles M. Cuskaden

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1973, vol. 55, issue 4_Part_1, 633-636

Abstract: Selected worker characteristics and grower management practices were analyzed by OLS regression to determine their relationship to the productivity of workers hand harvesting apples. Growers should be able to shorten harvest time by selecting workers with characteristics related to higher productivity and by using management practices associated with faster picking.
