yes, this is exactly the case. as i understand it, they've got a single customer they're selling all the produce to, who is also involved in providing man power for the farming.

yes, they've got folks out there most days during the growing season, whereas when it was hay, it could be managed with a couple of man*days a month.
(i am more familiar with the operations there than i'm going to admit, or provide evidence for. don't "sources?" me.)
