Roman shared this video with us from the watermelon harvest in Arizona. An average watermelon weighs 20 lb. These farm workers form a human chain of picking and passing the heavy fruit into the trailer. #WeFeedYou

Nacho is proud of the work he does to bring food to America's tables. "I drive a tracker 8-10 hours a day. My job is to plow the fields and make sure the fields are clean. My work assures when we plant the crop the soil produces good healthy vegetables." #WeFeedYou

Vianey shared this video of farm workers pruning in the orchards of Hanford CA. He shares he doesnt understand why so many don’t appreciate the hard work and sacrifice of farm workers. Man or woman, they only want to work in peace and provide for their families. #WeFeedYou
