Thank you, and thanks to the witnesses.
I'll try to be as careful with my time as I can. I was on an organic farm this summer. It was harvesting weeds at the time. The migrant workers were there. There was a crew of about 50. The weeds were taller than the people who were harvesting them. They had machetes, and they were in lines trying to get through the crop. A month later, the carrots were doing wonderfully, the weeds were gone, but in the time of stress the farmer had said, “I've never seen weeds like this before. Our farm has never experienced this before.”
Thinking of the stress on the people who are manually harvesting these weeds and are in a different country, how do we reach out to them? Whether it's through the employer, whether it's through a shift boss who's from the migrant community, how do we connect in to that?
