garlic

This ol' cracker was built to fulfill a need at VersaLand Farm. We grow a lot of garlic for our seed garlic business, and need an efficient way to break bulbs and clean cloves for planting. A skilled farmworker can break and clove around ~25lbs/hr. Hand-shelling 4,000+ lbs of seed garlic can quickly callous hands, spirits, and labor budgets. There had to be a better way.
