“'I cannot reconcile in my mind how we live in such a rich country and pay our farm workers so poorly for very difficult work and expect them to pay for bicycles, good quality warm work clothing and food with our high cost of living,' said Nicklen, 'I can’t imagine being away from my family in another country every year for six months or longer. I don’t think we can appreciate the mental toll this must take on the workers. My heart breaks for them. I have a skill that helps these folks.'”
