Those capsicums are flow wrapped which immediately value adds a product and for good reason. They're pre packaged on farm for transport, which requires machinery at a starting cost of ~$250,000, then add in labour... 4-6 individuals (specifically for that line) at $22/hour. Not to mention that...

re: The view from my "office" I haven't posted in a while, so something different... Banana farm up the bottom of Cape York

Wait... What... I had it down in my diary for this weekend... I'm a moron. I'll be there with bells on. Back to Cairns next week.

re: The view from my "office" Dry land rice paddock in Ayr, North Queensland. Blowing an absolute gale this afternoon.
