“I started investigating the dynamics at play among the workforce on Delta farms because I knew it was more than just a lawsuit story,” reporter Sara DiNatale said. Learn more about her eight-month investigation.

She interviewed a dozen local and H-2A visa farm workers, including some currently living in South Africa.
