Times Advocate, 1995-12-06, Page 32Page 32 Times -Advocate, December 6,1995 COMM ( IN1TY Late harvest for area rutabagas EXETER - When early frost and wet conditions made it impossible for Exeter Produce to use its harvester to .pick rutabagas near Conc. 2-3, 15 to 20 people were hired a few weeks ago topick the vegetables by hand. "On a good day we can do a couple of acres," said Darrel Finkbeiner, of Exeter Produce. "We'll go as long as the weather permits. Time's run- ning short." Finkbeiner said "it's very uncommon" to hand-pick a large amount of rutabagas, which are usually gathered at the end of October. With nearly half of the 90 acres harvested, Finkbeiner is worried about frost and snow affecting the vegetables, which can't be picked until about noon every day due to frost. "On a good day we can do a couple of acres," he said, adding despite the weather conditions, the pickers are doing a good job. "It works out okay," he said, "because people are looking for work."
