Sometimes my job involves flying produce guys around to farms to look at vegetables.  I had a trip to Los Mochis Mexico last week and got to hang out at Meyer tomatoes, meet the owner, have lunch, and walk around like I knew something about growing them.  I saw about 1 million dollars of tomatoes come rolling in on the belts from the trucks, where people sorted and boxed them.  I've never been blown away by tomatoes, but I have to admit it was pretty impressive seeing the operation there. 

Couple weeks ago I flew to New Mexico and got to land on a farm, literally, and look at onions and talk about bell peppers.  Fun stuff.

So are you running tomatoes over the boarder?

Nah just taking guys who sell and distribute them over there to look at crops and check out production.
