Boswell

J.G. Boswell Company farms 106,000 ac in the Sacramento Valley. 24,000 ac of processing tomato's yielding about 56 t/ac and about 70,000 ac of Cotton. All fed from the river of water flowing through the farm.
This is the tomato planting machine. They run these 24/7 for three months.
When there picked they are processed in their own factory producing around 590,000 kilograms of tomato paste. Each one of those boxes is 1 tonne of paste. They go on forever. They can last for up to 3 years in these boxes.
I counted 50 harvesters.
