I have lived in a farming community all my life. I have met people that have "worked the fields." They are some of the most down to earth people. This type of work is so unappreciated. It IS an honest day's job. Probably one of the toughest jobs I have witnessed. Days start early and end late. Here, the workers are thinning the field to give the plants room to grow. All the technology available and still, machines can't do this job better than human labor.
