"Julio" is an irrigator on CAs Central Coast. He shared this picture saying, "Here we are unloading sprinkler pipes. We will get the soil all wet. Once the soil is wet enough they will bring in a bulldozer to form the beds where they will then plant the strawberries. #WeFeedYou

"Edgar" has been a tractor driver in Salinas CA for 20+ yrs. Each October, he prepares the soil for strawberry planting. Then black plastic is placed to protect the plants from the wind & keep the soil warm. The strawberries are harvested from April to July. #WeFeedYou
