Google spring bean pickers. In our area the first mechanical pickers came out in the early 1960s. Today, they are huge and five machines run around clock when string bean are in fields around my house. Looks to me they go about 1&1/2 to 2 miles an hour. Rarely break down. Stop once a day to get steam cleaned to keep sanitary. Have seen Latinos driving them and a few of them drive some of the tractor trailer with hydraulic dump. I do not know the people in the canning factory. I have been by one of the rooms where they are flash frozen after packaging. Room is huge. The neighbors always pickup a few bushels when the picker dumps into trucks and spills a few bushels. They do not miss that often. Some of the machines have side conveyors to unload. It is interested to watch. The dents in the bean are from the 2 counter rolling shafts with brushes and or rubber like fingers. I see on u-tube Pixall makes a one row bagger too. If you are into organic beans, these string beans probably would not be for you. They are sprayed quite a few times. I have been eating them for years and I am 66 years old. They have not caused any health problems yet.
