Scenic Marion County, KY: The Cavalry saves the crop 2012-06-24 - Cowherd Road, Marion Co., KY - Photo By Kenny Browning, The Feedman. The Cavalry has arrived: Kenny Browing writes: Taken on Cowherd Road, Marion County, Kentucky.With an order for 480 pints of blackberries and having started picking at 12pm noon ET, seeing these " Amigos " show up at 5pmCT, was as good as the Cavalry coming to save the wagon train! The guys in the photo work on a neighboring farm and are here for the growing season through the H-2 Temporary Agricultural Worker Program. After putting in a 8 to 10 hour day for the neighboring farm they will help us with the berry crops. It amazes me every time they leave (usually with darkness falling ) that they thank you for the opportunity to work.If anyone really believes that the jobs that they do will be done by Americans, come see me . I have at least three weeks left in this blackberry season and we can discuss this as we pick the berries. Using local high school students, we are lucky to have them stay for more than an hour . Getting one to come two days in a row is a minor miracle. Kenny BrowningSeen in the ColumbiaMagazine group on Flickr. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
