And by the sweat of their brow

Sweet potatoe harvest employs many of the Spanish people in this area in the fall.They drive over an hour to get to the field that is ready, start work by 6 am, and make minimum wage. They have to wear masks and get covered in dirt. Then they arrive home again at 6 pm and do it all over again 6 days a week. It humbles me just to see this.
