After a little while the Yellow Group has learned that it seems to produce about 2 gallons per hour while pumping water and about 8 berries per hour while picking.

Meanwhile the Orange Group has learned that it seems to produce about 1 gallon per hour while pumping water and about 3 berries per hour while picking.
