[QUOTE="hurleyjd, post: 1586055, member: 4674"] I am going to ask a question and hope it is not to political. Could the agricultural operations in the valley operate without migrant labor. Are we to dependent on migrant labor in all of our food production. Any thing that requires manual labor instead of running a mechanical harvester. Several years ago I watched them picking up burlap bags of onions from the field. Looks as if the onions were placed in the bags to dry without the sun turning them green. The machine they were using looked like a combine with a person on each side grabbing the bags and emptying them onto a conveyor that carried the onions to a bin on the machine. This was in the Mojave desert outside of Lancaster. Also I was amazed at the concrete canal that transported water from the north to the south. Looks like the water was not moving but it was moving faster that it looked. Also some of the fields would not procuce any more because of salt left from irrgation water looked white with the salt deposits on it. [/QUOTE]
