Can the stat that workers are expected to pick 12,000 pounds of apples per day be right?

No.

Not if he is talking per person and assuming a eight hour day.

If you are talking a 12 hour day it is possible depending on the types of apples you are picking.

If you know how to do it, you are picking juice apples and they are large apples you can pick a bin full in about an hour. A bin is about a thousand pounds of apples.

If you are picking eating apples and they are small it takes about an hour and a half for a good picker to pick a bins worth.

Thanks for that info. I can see how you would go a lot faster with juice apples if you don’t worry about bruising or a half-ton of apples on top of the bottom row in the bin.
