Workers in Parma Idaho pick bell peppers by hand. The peppers are then placed on a conveyer belt to be sorted and have trash removed. The work is fast paced and the days can be long since farm workers do not get overtime in Idaho.

The UFW's "De Campesinxs a Campesinxs" food project distributed food today in Santa Paula CA to 600 farmworker families. This was our first time distributing in this area where many workers have been out of work or had hours cut because of the rains. twitter.com/i/web/status/16191

Virginia shared, "The storms have been preventing us from working properly due to the rain, which has been making us lose hours and days of work. During this time, the union has been helping us by having food drives and other resources which are necessary."

Farm workers in Napa CA took in the sun which was a welcome sight after too many days of rain. They hoped to be able to catch up on the pruning work some had not done since before the holidays.

Veronica plants celery by hand because the tractors can’t get through the mud. She spends 8 hours doing this back breaking work.

Amadeo sent us this photo from the Oxnard strawberry fields. He's not only lost days of work during the rain, but now the winter harvesting season ended 2-3 weeks early because of water damage. He's searching for alternative field work to make a living.

Javier's worked Salinas CAs fields for the last 43 years. "With the rains there were days we didn’t work. Before we worked 40 hours/week. Because of the rain, we only worked 25 hours. My family depends on me. I pray it stops raining so I can work more.

During a break in the rain, farm workers like Guillermo in Ventury County CA were busy picking celery. The use plastic smocks that keep their arms free while keeping their body protected against lingering rainstorms. There was much to do before the next storm.

Erasmo shared this vid from Fresno CA where he's working in the almonds. He only worked 2-3 days a week since the rain started because fields are flooded. He works 4-8 hours a day which is all he can get.

Tomasa, like most farm workers, starts her shift before the sun rises. In the winter this means facing the coldest weather in the early morning out in Washington States fields.

Herna sent this picture from Oxnard CA where she is picking red raspberries. She needs 5-6 of the baskets on her waist belt to fill a larger box to earn $3.75 a box. She fills 35-40 boxes a day.

Having New Years Day off work is a privilege that dairy workers like Axel don’t have. Dairy farms operate every day of the year 24 hours a day to take care of the cows. Spending holidays with family is not an option.

As you enjoy a glass of wine, Daniel, a farm worker in Napa CA, would like to remind you of the foggy day he pruned the grapevines. Pruning is done during the winter when the plant is dormant which means cold, wet & foggy weather for farm workers like Daniel.
