It's peak cherry harvest time in CAs central valley. This worker earns $6.50 per 23lb bucket of cherries. On a good day she can pick 20-24 buckets in 7 hrs-if she works as fast as she can. Peak season doesn't last long so she rushes to earn every penny. Her family relies on her. #WeFeedYou Es la época de mayor cosecha de cerezas en El Valle Central de California.

Workers cutting the lettuce must bend over all day long and the workers up on the machine must keep bagging the lettuce at a steady pace & hurt from the repetitive motion. #WeFeedYou Lupe compartió este video de una cuadrilla cosechando lechuga en Chualar, California: Este trabajo es muy exigente.
