Thanks for the title, I think I’d never got it otherwise
I thought it was because they were all dying and fertilizing the soil with their corpses.
Fuck gawd damn, I don’t know who I’m angrier at more: myself or the joke writer.
The humor lies in the dual meaning of the horticultural labor task and the selective bias fallacy having the same idiomatic phrase of “cherry picking”. And that is all there is to the humor.
Right?
Thank you for explaining. I’m embarrassed I didn’t get it on my own but I’m grateful for the help.

I don’t get it. Could be because I was still asleep 20 minutes ago.
For the sleepy brains and ESL-ers: It is an idiom.
I still don’t get the 340% increase in the production part though.
They’re very experienced at cherry picking, since they do it all the time. Therefore they’re able to do it better / faster than most.
Me either, but assuming it’s a real screenshot, the date is 2018. I didn’t do much digging, but 2018 saw an increase in cherry crops according to this source https://upnorthlive.com/news/local/usda-2018-cherry-crop-production-up-from-last-year.
An overall increase of 60% is pretty big! If this specific farm had an especially bad year in 2017, a 340% increase isn’t out of the question.
It’s from an Onion-esq science blog.

I don’t get it
I love stealth puns
I figured they were making hugel mounds out of the dead people and planting cherries on them.
