07 Cutting Broccoli
On top of the broccoli machine, pulled behind a tractor, women pack the heads of broccoli cut by the men working below. They wear bandannas around their faces to protect them from breathing dust, and as a shield from the sun. Many workers in this crew are indigenous migrants from Oaxaca and Guerrero.
