[Twining hop fields: The strings that the hop plants travel up during the growing season are new every year. A crew of 7 to 8 workers will hang and clip these new strings every spring. This job consists of the tiers (2 to 3 workers) and clippers (usually 5 workers). The tiers will tie, by hand, the new strings to the row wires. The clippers will push the bottom of the newly hung hop strings into the ground in the middle of the hop plants. A clip gun and clips are used to do this. This job requires a considerable amount of walking. Sufficient work footwear is required, since the stings are attached at the bottom by using the clip gun, which is pushed into the ground by the workers foot. Every crew of 7 to 8 workers must contain at least one crew supervisor/manager for safety and Double R policy reasons.]{times="" new="" roman""=""}
