Francisco was driving a tractor with an attachment that plants seeds near Pájaro CA at a ranch that has 60 acres. He is planting iceberg lettuce and the machine plants four beds at a time. It is patient skilled work as he must drive very slow (less than 5 miles/hr). #WeFeedYou

This tractor driver is preparing the rows for planting of almond trees. Once a field has been cleared of the previous orchard the soil is disked and aerated for the new trees. This is a dusty job so farm workers are thankful for the reprieve the closed cabin provides. #WeFeedYou

Planting lettuce requires precise work. A machine carrying 4-6 persons will drop the seedlings into pre dug holes in each row but there is a farm worker who follows behind to esnure the plants are grounded and also to catch any missed holes. #WeFeedYou

Erika sent this pic of her coworker near the almond orchards of Bakersfield CA. Irrigators use these type of all terrain vehicles to get from one field to another. These produce less dust than regular vehicles which helps keep the trees clean. #WeFeedYou

Armando shared this photo of farm workers hard at work pruning wine grape vines in Sonoma County. Pruning ends by early March. The workers will have to come back to remove some of the shoots that take away energy from growing the grapes that produce the wine we enjoy. #WeFeedYou
