Seriously! Seems like every time I looked over my shoulder, they had gotten a ton more done.
Not 100% sure what they'll be growing. Could just be more baby greens for salad packs as that's what's growing in a lot of the fields around us. They grow fast and they get picked young so they'd have plenty of time before the first frost. Of course, spinach, cabbage and the like tolerate cold well too so they could be growing that as well. I'm eager to see what comes up

Guessing they aren’t Gen Zers working an hourly job
LOL - yeah, no. Most but not all of these guys are H1A visa workers. As in, LEGAL seasonal workers. By winter, the area becomes a ghost town.

They must glue those joints and then cut it out after the season? Can't imagine they would stay together without glue being under pressure.
I don't know. I was watching them for a while and I wanna say that most of the plumbing is threaded or something. I don't think I saw them gluing anything and yeah, there has to be a TON of pressure to sprinkle irrigate as many acres as they're working.

Ah yeah that would make sense. I've never seen a (guessing) 4"x4"x1" threaded tee so it didn't cross my mind but they probably aren't shopping at home depot. lol

Good thing they watered.

These are a mechanical gasketed joint connection that goes together really quick. Similar to a victaulic connection where there’s a rubber gasket between the pipe ends and a cast iron collar. Pipe is grooved to accept the collar and gasket. Joints are flexible and go together really quick with one wrench

Ahh I could smell the freshly irrigated fields in the breeze right now. Nothing better than that on a warm day.
