[AT] Now NC twisters: -now hail vegetable discussion

Thanks Ron.  Actually when I typed that I was thinking it wasn't right but 
was in a hurry and just let it go.  I have those brain farts once in a 
while.  I knew better and appreciate the correction. grins.

When I worked in the restaurant business they told us to always break 
lettuce because any sort of knife would turn the cut edge brown.  I guess 
there is no good mechanical way to cut it other than by hand.

Charlie,
     Please do not take offense, but I think you meant to write _sickle_
bar cutter.  If it were sharp and in really good shape, it would likely
leave less trauma to the plant.  Now, mine is never very sharp, nor is
it in top shape after mowing road shoulders on gravel roads.  A disc
mower came to my mind for this experiment but I have no experience with
them.  They are out of my budget range.  Too new.
