Hopfenernte - Tag 2: Wie hängt er?!

Hop harvest - Day 2: How's it hangin'?!

Pretty much the same as yesterday, even my oven started without complaining. The weather is still lovely, which makes my job (drying the hops) so much easier. Sylvester's tractor had a minor leak in the hydraulic oil circuit, but nothing that he couldn't fix himself.

The blip shows the hop twines' death row: they are hung into a chain, that drags them into the picking machine, where they are beaten until they drop their cones and leafs and eventually are hacked to pieces. It was a very early blip again - Sylvester is just dumping the first load of hops of the day next to the machine.
