| By clue 1, the part of Skunk Hollow Farms managed by Jed is
flanked by the part managed by Cropper and the acreage where
pistachios are grown. By clue 2, Lennie's responsibility is
flanked by Waters' and the garlic fields. If Jed and Lennie
had areas directly opposite each other, Cropper would have to
manage the garlic fields--no (clue 5). So, Lennie is either
Cropper or manages the pistachio farming. Since Jed isn't
Waters (4), in clue 2, Jed oversees the garlic growing, and
Waters' part of Skunk Hollow is directly opposite Jed's.
By clue 3, George's fields are flanked by Pickens' and the
onion fields. If George were Cropper or managed the pistachio
crop, Jed would be Pickens and Waters would direct the onion
production--no (8). So, George is Waters; and Pickens is in
charge of pistachio production and Cropper in charge of the
onion fields. By elimination, Jed is McDonald; and George
Waters is tomato farm manager. Slim is Pickens (6), and
Lennie Cropper. The tomatoes are in the South 100 (7). By
clue 6, Slim Pickens' pistachios are in the West 100, with
the onions in the East 100. Garlic grows in the North 100.
In sum, the crop production at Skunk Hollow Farms is run
as follows:
- Jed McDonald, garlic in the North 100
- Lennie Cropper, onions in the East 100
- George Waters, tomatoes in the South 100
- Slim Pickens, pistachios in the West 100
