    FairPick Demo: $4,000/Day Savings · Steve Mantle, Founder & CEO

    "We've seen some of our growers identify savings as much as $4,000 per day by showing who their more productive workers are versus the lower productive workers, bringing training opportunities for those lower productive workers and ultimately increasing your profitability, traceability and sustainability on farm."

    Founder & CEO, innov8.ag

    Walla Walla, WA

    "With the increase in wages and the increase in volume that we're picking, in theory, we could save $40,000 this year. We were overpaying probably about a dollar a lug. It's been saving us a lot of time and makes life in the office and out here in the field easier for everybody." $40,000 annual savings.

    "If we move to pay by the pound, it takes all of the tension out of the equation, it keeps the harvest staff doing the picking honest, and it keeps me, doing the paying honest … For payroll, it's a beautiful thing."

    "What we had packed that year, and what we had paid for was almost a $100,000 difference that I had overpaid to our employees." $100,000 overpayment discovered.

    Sullivan Farms

    Pasco, WA

    "One grower overpaid his pickers by almost $20,000 one week because bucket weight totals for blueberries (estimated) exceeded warehouse weight (actual) by 40,000 pounds. With the FairPick system, accurate pick weights could result in significant payroll savings for growers."

    — Growing Produce Magazine (2013)

    "We know exactly what their yields are across an orchard or a block of fruit, and a lot of times, what we're seeing is that there can be a 30, 40 percent difference in yield from one part of a field to another."

    — Kevin Oldenburg, 2nd Sight / innov8.ag — Good Fruit Grower (2024)

    "Best money spent this year."

    "Yes, I can trust the data. My dining room table used to just be filled with bin tickets, rubber bands, and writing everything down. And now it's just all on the computer and less stressful."

    "There's going to be more technology and efforts toward automating and becoming more efficient … this is certainly a way to do that, bringing technology out to the farm, out in the fields. For payroll, it's a beautiful thing."

    John Raap

    Prosser, WA

    "It was more time-consuming for both me and the picker, because he had to wait until he found his ticket and then I punched it."

    Harvest Checker, Sullivan Farms

    Pasco, WA

    "Office manager Dora Blanco pointed to two lines on the dashboard showing one worker had scanned the exact same bucket weight within seconds — multiple times. She corrected the discrepancy before it reached payroll."

    "If the FairPick technology was not lowering our picking costs and really establishing a baseline of trust between ourselves and our picking crew, we would not be using handpick. The FairPick allows our skilled field crew to do what they do best—pick high quality blueberries—and not waste their time weighing and quantifying."
