Yes will be 4-6 weeks and the farmer will probably deduct hundreds for lodgings but then you move on to the next farm/ crop, it isn't a career most people would choose but its good pay for hard work. I would happy of done it as a youngster, I remember the adverts in the local paper growing up for going vine harvesting in France/Spain and you got paid naff all but got free wine each night and lodging and it seemed glamorous lol
