Thank you Mike for showing us these children who are being harmed in many ways. It is 2012 and there is still no law to stop this from happening. If you click on 'more info' it gives you a website where you can email your congressman. It only took a minute to do.
 
This is not meant to be a blanket statement, but if a younger adult is not fairly proficient in agronomy and just general farming by the time he is eighteen or so, he will just leave the farm never to return. With nobody to grow our food we will get hungry. This can change, but would take time.I guess what I am trying to say is that we shouldn't try to fix this overnight.
 
Father in law worked the fields for over 40 years......
 
Dejavu.. thats what I used to do for spending money when i was in junior high. of course that was 40 years ago maybe that is what went wrong with me.

We are starting to make change, they have machines that are being developed to pick strawberries and I do agree, it will take time, we do owe them some health care!! JMO, they are feeding us.

My grandmother did this well over 30 years or so.
Most likely or could have met him back when I did it for 10 years steady Apples, cherries, pickles, Tomatoes, blue berries, strawberries, plums, peaches extra!

Oranges are a *****. Tall ladders, thorny trees and heavy bags. I will never pick another orange.

Oh my Pete you are so right, the ladders and reaching out to retrieve the ones that had to be picked where you could set a ladder tour us up :coffee2:

Prayers sent Mike.
Thank you David, I am glad to say (if the doctors are right) I have no nerve
damage, My GP doctor told me yesterday he is sending me to see a rheumatologist and to stay off my feet :protest: yea!! that ain't going to happen, I wake up at 5 am and have coffee walk outside and refreash Buddy'es water (frozen) as Treva sleeps till 6:30 am.
My GP dropped the ball I think, know the discoloration is moving up the back of my leg Achilles tendon on my left side. here is my savior I hope, she is a specialist Dr. Suzanne Moore :glasses7:

I had to quit my 9 ball team but I am going to continue my 8 Ball :glasses7:
