Planting celery in the Salinas CA area using a planting machine: Some workers sit on the machine planting the celery seedlings. At the same time, other workers walk behind the machine to look for missed spots where they will plant the seedling by hand. #WeFeedYou - ThreadSky

En otras palabras, el cultivo del apio requiere del trabajo conjunto de muchos campesinos. Debemos protegerlos a ellos y a sus familias. (In other words, planting celery requires lots of campesinos working together. We must protect them and their families. #TheyFeedUs)

It's viciously hard work in the hot sun; we are lucky that we have MIGRANT WORKERS willing to do that work for bad wages. Or did they all disappear because of the threats to their lives and families??

Not exactly a union subject, but I love watching those machines yank carrots out of the ground.

I was amazed 1st time I watched one of these planting machines!

Im surrounded on 3 sides by fields that are farmed w/ organic veggies.
I see just how hard these folks work regardless of weather.

Thank you for our food !!!

No wonder celery is so expensive. There is a lot more labor involved than one would think. Long live the food producers.

Thank you for your hard work putting food on the plates of both those who love you, and those who despise you. Kind of Christ-like, right?

This made me go to my refrigerator and grab and enjoy a stalk. I’m making room for some more!

I'm so glad I live in California. I travel through Gilroy, Watsonville, Hollister, Salinas, often, and I see so much effort that goes into feeding America-- tree pruning, plowing, seeding, poles and plastic cover, palletting, picking, on-site freezing, driving, irrigation..
