Farm workers are hard at work in in Fresno CA harvesting pomegranates. They earn minimum wage and spend their days filling sacks that weigh up around 60 pounds when full. They then dump the sacks into the bins. A tractor hauls the full bins to cold storage. #WeFeedYou

At 11am it was 49° in Arvin CA. "Raul" shares, "We're leveling out the soil & clearing the bed tops before we begin planting for the lettuce harvest. It's back breaking shovel work that keeps the rows even, so water runs right and the crop doesn’t fail." #WeFeedYou

"Martin" is pruning grapevines in Madera CA. He is earning CA minimum wage. The work is cold and damp, but he considers himself lucky that he is working 5 days a week sometimes close to 9 - 10 hours a day, which means he could pay the rent and feed his family. #WeFeedYou
