In the vast agricultural lands north of Los Angeles, stretching from Ventura County into the state's central valley, two farmers, two field supervisors and four immigrant farmworkers said that the ICE raids have led a majority of workers to stop showing up for work. That means crops are not being picked and fruit and vegetables are rotting at peak harvest time. One Mexican farm supervisor, who asked not to be named, was overseeing a field being prepared for planting strawberries. Usually he would have 300 workers, but on this day he had just 80. Another supervisor at a different farm said he usually has 80 workers in a field, but on that day just 17. Link: YouTube.com .
