This conveyer dumped chopped-off cauliflower leaves into the truck. Dad was in the barn at the other end of the conveyer, doing the chopping with a big knife. He took cauliflower plants off a revolving table that had been transferred there from a tractor-drawn wagon backed into the barn. In the field several days earlier, when the head was baseball-size, the cauliflower leaves had been pulled up over the head and tied. Dyed string was used to indicate the date when they'd be ready to cut. After Dad chopped off the extra leaves, he put the trimmed head on a second revolving table, from which it was picked up and packed in a wire-bound crate along with a dozen or so other heads. Putting those crates together was a job us kids were expected to do.
