Farm workers are important and deserve rights and protections, and also am I the only city kid who thinks this picture looks like somebody randomly put some watermelons down in a field

Honestly they grow like weeds. When I was 13 my family had a quarter acre paddock that was overrun with them and I had to mow the borders to stop them taking over other paddocks every week

I grew up on a farm (grain not produce) and I agree, but also, I don't know what I expected a field of watermelons to look?

Back when my back wasn’t fucked I used to work on a farm that grew these It’s even wilder to pick them, and this was before more automation mind you, you cut them of the vine, roll them into the row and then have to throw them to somebody standing in a large bin that was being carried by a tractor

I was a country kid so all I got is that they kinda end up where they end up. It's not like you wanna risk moving them a whole lot and have it come off the...vine? i guess too early.

A lot of produce grows in a way I feel should be illegal.

I will never get over how UFW’s flag looks like, though.

My ex-step-sister-in-law was the ED for this city project. One of the deals was community gardens. I did some time with them, and one of the shockers (many) was the kids didn't get that it was all FOOD. That they could just eat and stuff! Really!
