Description

Farmworkers empty buckets and pull leaves from newly picked Skeena cherries at CE Farm Management's orchard in The Dalles on Sun., July 6. Amid an increase in immigration crackdowns, some farmworkers are afraid to show up for the harvest, employers say.

More than a dozen farmworkers pick round, dark red cherries from the trees in front of them, rapidly filling white buckets hanging from their chests. Occasional comments, mostly in Nahuatl, music playing from a phone in someone’s pocket and the metallic clang of ladders as workers move between branches punctuate the rhythmic plunk of the picked fruit.
