A day in the life of a cherry picker

Season 4 Episode 433 | 3m 24s

Migrant farmworker Juan Jose works long hours as a cherry picker to send money back home.

Washington farmers rely increasingly on the H-2A program, which brings in temporary foreign agricultural workers to help alleviate the domestic labor shortage. Juan Jose Calleros is one of approximately 20,000 such migrant laborers who will work on Washington farms this year.
