Which means! Farm workers know a LOT about dealing with the heat.
We have tips for you!
And, heat waves are a good chance to get informed on what farm workers are dealing with, and how we can keep them from getting heat stroke on the job.

Since farming in the US is kind of an upper-class pursuit at this point, you'd be amazed how many farmers.......don't really understand working in the heat that well. Which makes it hard to supervise a crew responsibly! 🙃 Which makes worker protection laws REAL IMPORTANT!

@sarahtaber@mastodon.online Florida repuglicans actually passed a law saying employers don't have to give heat/water breaks to employees working out in the heat/sun...or something to that effect 🤬
