When properly managed, piece-rate pay can result in enhanced wages for crew workers and increased productivity for growers.

Crew worker concern about how piece rates are determined played a key role in the unexpectedly low preference for piece rate. Suggestions are offered for establishing piece rates as pay incentives.
