It is worse than seasonal! After busting their ass in the Salinas Valley through the spring and summer, many migrate to Yuma AZ for the winter; kid, pets and all. Thank you farm workers for your hard work!!
I live in Monterey and go to court in Salinas, CA and drive through the fields everyday. I have seen how hard those workers work. Not for me. F***ing hard work in the sun. Strawberries are the worst. I would be too lazy to pick my own food and would starve to death. My hat is off to our field workers.
@@torchandhammer I was born in Portland Oregon and moved to California but as a lil kid I helped my dad out working in the summers picking cherries 👀 2 to 3 months at a time! Thank God 🙏 we came up🤑
Just so you know, migrants start making seven bucks per hour, and the ones that make fifteen are the ones with more seniority, over two years minimum, if you consider the hard work, feeling homesick, being in a position where the social and political pressure it's way to unfriended, always worried that they might get caught at any given time, and loose the little that they might have, the stress most be just overwhelming.
I am 72 Yrs old. At the age of 12 Yrs I chopped cotton for $ 5.00 a day. I later attended college and became a civil Servant for 30 Yrs. God is watching and those that mistreat others will reap what they sow.
I’m 18 now I been working in the fields every summer since I was 10 both parents work in the fields. I’m going to the marines working in the fields got me really strong and more athletic then the others at school I did wrestling I won almost every match I was just more physical and mentally fit. It was very hard working in the fields as a kid but I had to help my parents.
Zeus Apollo Same here in Florida. I have not found a job in my career at the moments. So I’m doing property management just like I always have, but for a temp service for $15:00 per hour. I live alone and it’s not enough to survive. Not sure what I’m going to do. At least I don’t have to do that hard physical labor, I don’t think I could. I have squatted for longer than most people just putting files away, it’s not easy at all. Most women my age can’t do it at all.
Oxnard my home town ... i remember the fruit being amazing ... but being too young to be aware of how it was harvested. What's really amazing is that these conditions used to be even *worse*.
I heard they get paid per box they pick although trump has this proposition about Americans first and how Americans should always get the jobs first well I doubt a real American wouldn’t want to work in that
Why don't they rig up a suspension system where the workers are laying horizontally from those boom arms on the tractor (think of the rig from "Honey, I shrunk the Kids" but with multiple people hanging from each side.) *If anyone uses this idea I want my cut
I think every single american should have to work a job in retail, then farming. One year each and you officially become an adult after your two years of service are up at age 20.
thank you so much for this , I have worked in the fields for 4 years ,but only in the summer we get paid 11 dollars an hour, my mom worked in the fields for 14 years , getting paid 7 dollars the lowest !thank you, for doing this once again
American's are SOFT and SPOILED... I grew up understanding the need to do a job for sustainability of life... Farming both Plants and Animals... We should require our youth to work at least one season on a Farm and or Ranch and then Two Years in the Military... College option after that but TRADE SCHOOL would be a better choice for some... Drain the Swamp and adopt a Government of Term limited Volunteer Leadership NOT Career Politicians working at our expense for their personal gain financially... TRUMP2020 continue draining the swamp and ending the corruption.
When I was a kid growing up in Arizona working all day in the fields only earned me around two to three dollars a day. All this without drinking a soda or eating anything in all day.
I'm an American and I worked , weeding cotton , tomatoes , cucumbers ,chillies ,& I picked watermelons and bell peppers . I couldn't keep my bandana on my face , cause my seeing glasses would get fogged up . I did this for 4 months here in Los Banos California , where the temperatures get in to the triple digits . Picking watermelons messed up my spine . I only lasted 1 day picking bell peppers . Arthritis in my wrist and a messed up spine kept me from going on working in the fields.
@@charlesparadise969 We would start picking strawberries around Burlington, Washington then moved around until November and go back to Eagle Pass Texas to winter over.
Sadly most of undocumented Hispanics or Mexicans don’t get jobs that easily they don’t know English as much and they were raised very poor and the only jobs that they knew what to do was working in the fields so they wasted no time but to start working there and they find it easy to do when they worked for many years and their body gets used to it so they prefer to stick with that job
They should add rail systems in between the columns where pickers can sit down in a 360° rotating chair that can be controlled by the user to move upward. I feel like this would be a much useful and efficient way to pick strawberries without being overworked !
15-20$an hour man I only got 8¢ per wine plant I had to prune. They never water the plants either and we worked 12 hours the pace we were suppose to work was unreal my 65 year old Grandpa had at least 3x the speed and energy I did at 19. The only time I had was to sleep. I was in college at the time and it was the only job I could find
My husband was a migrant farm worker all his life, he was unable to work in 2013 he started to get sick from a Chronic cough that would not go away we when to different doctors until they sent to a lung specialist where he was given the worst news that he had Pulmonary fibrosis a fatal lung Illness and he only had a few years to live, the only thing that could give him a little more years of life was a lung transplant, It’s believed that he got pulmonary fibrosis from Pesticides that they use in the fields, he was lucky that he Received a one lung transplant in 2017, he still needs another transplant, migrant farm workers go through allot, if you get sick and need a transplant and don’t have insurance you’re going to die without the help. Thank you for the video so people can see that these workers do allot for the Country they risk there life to try to better themselves, God bless them because out President doesn’t give a shit😔😔😔
We will all pay while the elite retreat to their compounds. The worst is coming. May the Gods be with us, whoever they are. Lol, your fine just the way you are. Thx for your reporting
Shouldn't this force us to reconsider our entire system of agricultural labor? The lessons this man is taking away from the entire experience is that exploiting cheap desperate Mexican labor to do work is okay because it's too exploitative a job for him or any other American.
My father's a migrant farmer and he makes less than minimum wage as well as most of the illegal immigrants I know make around 8 to 10 dollars for back breaking work like that.
I would love to do this work, $15/hr all day! I work on a hog farm in the Midwest for similar money. Much much muuuuch harder work and I’m sick permanently. Sorry, but this is degrading to the people like me who just want to work. I would be paid much more if there was not such a massive amount of illegals in my line of work.
It's tough out here with the heat in the valley, even though I'm not picking strawberries and working as hard as the desperate men and women working they're asses off I'm still working in the shop while its 117° (seriously) and the sun is baking the tin walls of the shop and inside without ac (in shorts and short sleeves) still is hot enough to make a grown man pass out. Inside the shop on let's say an 100° day can reach temperatures of 120° degrees depending on how much air flow you're getting in there
I understand we need migrant workers but can they please come here legally though? It's endangering our safety if we let people come with a background check or no clearance
These workers need a grabber device, like the ones sold via infomercials and in store shelves, so they can grab the strawberries and other similar crops without having to stoop so far over. I do not think I have the money to donate enough of them to make a difference. Will someone who can do that please do so? I think it would help them a lot.
Thank you for caring so much about the migrants! My mother's a migrant (she's legal now, thank God) and I always see these people hunched over and working so hard. To see a white man so eagerly speak to these people and really see their pain and their suffering...truly inspiring! Thank you for everything. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
$15! I'm a machine operator making $13 maybe I should consider a change of career? (I actually make 12 I'm going to be asking for the braised to get to 13)
Its seasonal also. Machines aren't. Demand a raise if you think you deserve it. That's why Republicans don't want a 15 dollar minimum wage. They would have to pay you 22 an hour then.
Hey so from what I know it is not as little as $15 an hour it’s a lot closer to the the minimum wage then anything. Also there is this thing called “contracto” which is where the workers are payed off how much they pick that day. Keep in mind that they only pay $1-$5 (at most) per box of strawberries that each contain 6 containers of strawberries (depending on the ounces of the container). Also please note that it’s not everyday that the strawberry plants are luscious and full of strawberries throughout the year and it would become increasingly harder to work by contract when the strawberries are almost gone. Other wise you made a great video and made a lot of these people that would otherwise not know where their strawberries come from. Keep up the great work! :)
Believe me sir, if I was offered this job, I would happily take it, 15$ an hour is incredible. I used to carry 40kg bags of gravel or sand in the heat and carry it all the way up a 3 stories house and dump the sand on the roof and get paid only 10$ only for an entire day. If you need me I'll happily take this job
In many places they get paid by the box not by the hour. Many have skin rashes, asthma, arthritis, and other ailments from the positions, pesticides, heat. Enjoy your strawberries. And thank a farm worker
They ought to elevate the the strawberry fields so it's easier to pick strawberries. They need to do research on how to make it easier to these fruits or make robots able to do it.
I'd love to show your videos in my high school economics class but frankly many of the students won't immediately (or ever) get your jokes and therefore hundreds of students in just my one room won't see it each semester
I have work like this when I was a young man it's very hard stressful work for long hours you don't stop until it's done rain or shine it's got to be done we would have to work with lights from truck or tractor after dark some time 18 to 20 hours a day for weeks
Getting a job in Canada is fantastic and easier decision,only when you hook up a good Agent or Helper.Well I was lucky enough to meet Clayton Hernandez and I got a job afterwards.
I have seen machinery that picks virtually any kind of fruit ,nut etc ,most corporate farms use them ,this is by no means a corporate farm. with that being said you make choices.
That's a great example. Another example would be try re-building your bathroom sometime. We did it and it took 9 months of grueling weekend work, every weekend, both days, for 9 months, and when you are done, it feels great to get back to the office and relax doing the work of white people. Most people don't re-build their own bathrooms, most people pay to have Mexican workers do it,, we did it ourselves, and it was brutal. What will all the other people do when their bathrooms wear out?
it's not only that you are hunched back that you have to consider it's also the norm you have to keep per hour also quality of strawberries you pick and when you combine quality work with rush work and heavy labour work you get = worn out body (about 6years working strawberry picking will tire your body for lifetime) and worn out mentality (the stress of trying to keep up with this sort of work every day all day makes people disoriented and can also cause loss of consciousness)

Pick, pick, pick perfect picking machine, pick, pick, pick it's a symibiotic function... You know who's song it is?
My back might take five minutes
A lot of them strawberries look better then the store I buy them from😁
Diane, I don't ordinarily love strawberries -- HOWEVER -- the ones right off the vine were delicious.
$15 hour is almost double my pay, and I'm on my feet 8.5 hours a day 40+ hours a week. Damn shame.
They have room for you. Go get rich. Pick strawberries. This is YOUR opportunity
@@hhjames9139 While you may find my living as a fulltime, employed, poor person, funny, I don't. If I had the money to move from Ohio to Cali I would, but again I am a part of the American working poor.
If i got $15 an hour it would be more than most in my area. That is a good living sorry can't feel bad for them
Cheap digs at CA are not appreciated or funny. We are a state of very hardworking people. We have to be just to afford the rents here. 39.5 million Americans live here and we are currently the 5th largest economy in the WORLD. Respect for CA, please. We are good, regular, fun loving people. Sorry, but I had to unsubscribe.
I earn less than $15 an hour.
