  • "Something that I’d like to change . . . the pay, the pay, for sure. You’re like, this is hard, and they pay you so little.

And I imagine that, to do 200 buckets a day, you have to [laughs] almost go without drinking water . . . I don’t know why farm work, which is harder, pays so much less.”

    — North Carolina farmworker, 2015
