Further explanation; The reason the tops are cut off these harvesting machines is so that field workers can throw the melons to the stackers who are in the in the back. Melons are very labor intensive to begin with, and without these machines, the added labor to pick melons could run the price of them up dramatically. To assure an affordable food supply, all rules and regulations (both federal and state) that hinder a farmer in his efforts to produce affordable food should be looked at carefully, and unnecessary laws and regulations be repealed. The majority of people in this country somehow think that the groceries that they find so neatly arranged on the grocery store shelves somehow appeared magically. Let’s lighten the load on farmers, and get the government off their backs. .

To those laughing…how many have had to hussle to get a crop in so it won’t be ruined? How many know that if the farmer doesn’t get the crop to the market in time he loses all the time and money he has invested? And how many of you laughing are enjoying melons in the summer because a farmer grew them and transported them? Thank you Greg Evers for supporting the farming community! I don’t care how they transport the melons, etc., as long as it is a safe means. The government has made enough laws that make it hard on farmers and every day people.

Mr. Evers is right on; The melon pickers use those cut down buses only to pick melons in the field, and transport them to the packing sheds. They don’t use them to transport melons to the grocery stores. They are only used for two months a year. They should be classified as any other farm equipment. Mr. Evers is not “bending the rules” as melodies says, he is changing them to accommodate one very important segment of our agricultural economy. Good job Mr. Evers

This is ridiculous. They should not bend the rules 4 anyone. I wonder who’s buddy is wanting to transport melons with a rattle shack bus?

We need more like Evers in our government, thinking of the human not making points with the big dog government.
