Impoverished farm town is left behind in California
Farmworkers pick melons in the early morning hours in Huron, Calif. Huron feels like a village in Mexico, which is where most of its inhabitants hail or descend from. Nearly all residents are Latino, and Spanish is the primary language. Picking or packing crops pays about $11 to 12.50 an hour, but jobs are seasonal and many go months without work.
