Never saw him do it but my abuelo was a picker. My dad told me stories about him and I could just see it in my mind. He raised 9 kids doing it til he started working in a Bandag retread shop. From the age of 7 he walked with a limp cuz he fell off a truck and it crushed his leg and it was never fixed properly. Even with his bad leg my dad would tell me how he would be 20 feet ahead of everyone else and picking 2 rows at a time no matter what. It was inspiring as all hell!!
Me growing up here in the valley this movie hits home, My dad co.ing from Mexico was a ranch manager for 35years now and when I was 20 I worked with him at the ranch I grew up, started from the bottom and became a foreman with him, he taught me every thing he knew about AG, from water, to how much fertilizer to cultivating fields on tractors, then right before he retired, the owner and his son offered me ranch supervisor position when I turned 38, 4 years later thank my dad everyday for the knowledge he passed on to me and the hard work he did all these years, showed me to treat the group workers like I would treat the owner, and that's what I do
I remember I use I did this as a summer job and Dam it hurts as hell like the first week is alright but once you get to the second week is pain as hell especially your back
I never had to work the fields with my parents, but i did have to clean houses. My parents would take me with them to help clean the low areas since i was the smallest.
Those four minutes bent over like that was the most work Kevin ever done. “By the field” that’s shot wasn’t him acting. That was legit him saying f this 😂
I’ve got a friend whose parents worked in the fields and sent him to Stanford. Now his eldest is attending Lawrenceville School and headed to anywhere he wants to go. Greatest country in the world!
My ex husband would do this every morning to late afternoon; for him it hurts so much and your back and the sun that beats the hell of you on your back now its easier for him little by little.
In the south! In the south there are still blacks that work in the fields, picking on the fields, picking cotton. Back in the Civil War in the South blacks worked in the fields, picnicking cotton, picking the fields. A few white people worked in the fields, but mainly blacks. After the Civil War ended blacks today still work in the fields. Picking cotton.

Something just hit me, if you really want to know how to survive as a family with little money go talk to a hard-working person in the field.
I remember doing this when I was younger. It was horrible but we had to support our families somehow.
