To perform the act of tucking one hand full of wheat stems over one bunch laying across then under the next,all the while holding the previous lay and pre bending the next would take at least a second.And two people working as a team.So,if there are ten teams,total of twenty people out there stomping and weaving and holding,and there are several thousands of intersections between the elements of the 'weave' a time frame could be closely estimated.The variables are # of 'weavings',# of operators(as teams) and time allowed.That is not addressing transportation,access,co-ordination,darkness,difficulty of accuracy,no noise,close scrutiny of these areas by farmers,cops,military,papparazzi looking for that one photo to prove whatever/whomever,sheer physical labor involved.
So if there are ten thousand intersections at a second apiece,for a team of two,that would be about three hours.Ten teams would be under the 45 minutes alleged to be the shortest time allowed.Now this is a really rough estimate,the actual weaving could take5 times as long.But it won't be any less.

Methinks the true motive rests in the constant accusations of profit motive.Projecting theory says that's their own.They accuse others of lying and defrauding the gullible for money because that's the way they themselves think/write-for-money whatever is on the agenda.And further,I have noticed of late a focus on persons,not topics.Means we're right and they're scared of the message getting out.Which is what this is all about really,the message.And our actions.This is about beauty as apparent by the designs themselves and order.They are honoring us and our role to play is important.
