And most Vidalias are harvested by hand,by workers such as Edilberto, who came north from Mexico to work in the fields. He has pickedonions and other crops in south Georgia for 16 years. His three children were born here. Andthis summer he plans to leave Georgia to look for work in North Carolina. He will not be alone. |
