Thank everyone for responding to my questions about ladders in a PYO
operation. I had my own fears, and everyone confirmed them. Hope this
is a money making year

Tommy,
In our pick-you-own operation (in Michigan) the question of ladders or not
was answered by our insurance carrier with an emphatic, no! It wasn't a

We had a U-pick orchard in my family for about 75 years in Southeast,
Michigan and we put out ladders for our customers.

limit the attraction of climbing by our customers. As it is
inefficient to be
I would not allow it.. Have not had any claims, but a couple of workers
fell off the ladder on there first day... ONe of them said it hurt
pretty bad, and he broke a good sized branch, but was not injured..
Some people are just not that bright, or careful, and accidents happen
anyways
