For Amber Waves of Grain

Recent immigrants work our fields to keep U.S. food costs low. Eleven hours a day  in the July and August sun is work much needed and managed with joy at $9.00/hour when families need food and shelter. Even  those who practiced professions a few months before thank God for work in America and the beginning of a new life. 

Three of our ESL students recently joined this crew to work through November. Comprehensive immigration reform will continue to bring enormous benefits to the U.S. economy with a young work force no longer available from  U.S. citizens.
