   I tend to abhor artificial limitations.  It takes away
from the carefree atmosphere of what was billed as a
"first come, first served" event.  There were plenty of
chiles left on the plants on Sunday.  If future plantings
can be tailored more to what the pod-pickers want, that
seems like the logical solution.  Why institute maximum
harvest amounts that couldn't be realistically enforced?

FYI:  Dimensions of The Field (as per The Landlord)

4 rows x 750 feet per row = 3000 feet of chiles
   -OR-
4 rows x 1000 plants per row = 4000 individual plants
