These farm workers in the lower Yakima Valley are harvesting Cosmic Crisp apple. They earn $30 for each 900 lb bin. "Laura" says, "We have to work very fast to get a good day at work and earn enough to pay our bills." #WeFeedYou

That's no where near fair pay. $30 will get you about 15 of those apples over here in Western Washington.
