Picking strawberries is back-breaking work.
It sure is - from the ages of 11-14 or so, my brother and I picked strawberries every early summer. A Japanese/American family farm in the Green River valley had a small fleet of old buses and would transport mostly kids to the field very early in the morning. Bring your own lunch. We were paid 50 cents per flat, which I believe is 12 pints. Mid 1960's.
