Tomato season is wrapping up today at Highbury Canco.
The processing company is running longer than expected because of a bumper tomato crop.
President and CEO Sam Diab says it means they're processing significantly more paste.
"We were expecting to be done about a week ago," says Diab. "Our crop this year is about 10% over what our planting intentions were."
Diab says the company was not contractually obligated to take the tomatoes, but it would have been a shame to leave them in the field to rot.
It also means the last day of work for the roughly 120 seasonal workers who are employed by the plant during the harvest season.
Highbury Canco also employs 320 other full-time workers at the plant.
