These tomato workers start their day at 530am in Los Banos CA. They only work 4-5 hours a day to avoid the high temps each day. Thanks to their union contract they earn 7 cents more for each bucket they pick, & the average picker picks 200 buckets a shift. #WeFeedYou Via the UFW.

Today is the last day of Hispanic Heritage Month - a celebration of Hispanic culture and history. It began as a week-long observance in 1968 and became a national month in 1988. Here's to all who have enriched and shaped Hispanic culture through their positive contributions.

Rocio shared this pic of the persimmon harvest in Kern County CA, where she earns minimum wage. The work requires going up and down ladders to pick this fall fruit that will be used in holiday cookies, breads and appetizers. #WeFeedYou
