This post is Prospecton-based, with most of your time spent at a vegetable farm.

• Pick fruit or vegetables at the right ripeness and size, gently
• Move irrigation pipes and check drippers for blockages
• Follow the re-entry times after spraying, as the signs show
• Tie up tomato and pepper plants in tunnels
• Prune and thin fruit trees and vines to the farm's method

• Willing to start at sunrise
• Able to work outdoors in heat, cold and rain
• Careful with fruit, since bruised fruit is rejected
• Valid ID or work permit
• Follows farm hygiene and safety rules

• Farm transport from nearby towns
• Chance of a permanent post after good seasons
• Seasonal accommodation on some farms

• If you have picked before, say which crop and how many seasons. Farms rehire experienced pickers first.
• Have your bank details ready. Most farms pay into a bank account and will not start you without it.
