It's 6:50am in Oxnard CA. "Leonide" is at the side of a strawberry field ready to start harvesting at 7am. "I earn CA minimum wage. That's not enough for the grueling work I do. The cost of living is very high, but wages are not rising at all. We deserve to earn more." #WeFeedYou

Officials say a Trentino-style system could clarify when unpaid harvest help is a rural custom rather than illegal work.

Family Labor on Italian Farms Fell 75.3%, Istat Finds

The shift points to a more professional sector with larger farms, more hired labor and a widening regional technology gap.

These Central Valley farm workers are hard at work harvesting tomatos. This involves a lot of bending, reaching, and carrying heavy loads. This is very hard on the body - especially on days like this day where highs reached 100°. #WeFeedYou
