[apple-crop] Grading table lighting

[Charles Davis]

We currently use a couple of 4ft fluorescents above the sorting table
before bagging. Seems more difficult, as we are getting a little older each
year, to distinguish between dark red and brown or black. I was wondering
what others were using in their operations? Thank you kind hearted souls.

Re: [apple-crop] Weed Flamer

[Charles Davis]

First time ever replied to anything on this forum, so not sure if I have
the process down right?
Nuff of dat. On the flame weeder, was wondering if the unusual odors of the
propane and burn't vegetation would discourage voles from setting up house?
Have heard that petroleum odor tends to get them to move on, messes with
their smellers I guess. Can't think of any reason why the weeding part of
it wouldn't work.

 I am interested in the concept of using a weed flamer as a burndown option
 in my apple orchard.  Has anyone had experience using these with fruit
 trees?  What would be the pros/cons?
