Kitty, singlely, that is unbelievable. That is not expected in the shop at 
Deere without lifts.  I can't imagine what their injury rate is.  I am second to 
oldest at the greenhouse where I work and I am the only female that will lift 
the 40# bags of soil.  Most are young enough to be my children and they 
cannot or will not.  Greenhouse work is hard work.  I only work till the end of May 
and could not tolerate the heat on into the summer months.
